Check out below youtube video of the wheelie King.
I knew Doug very well. he was from Michigan. Worked for a Husqvarna dealer by the name of Gene Richie. Gene was the promoter and owner of the Mich. Red Bud Naitonal MX where Nationals were held for years. I rode around the MX track on the back of Dougs Maico, ( while he was doing a wheelie around the entire track, over jumps, up hill, down hills, etc. ) I lost that bet and had to buy dinner. 1976 or 1977
Good memories. Greg
Doug Domokos aka. Wheelie King… rode his Kawasaki up Lombard St on the back wheel and THEN turned around and rode DOWN it also on only the back wheel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNa360R75aw .
