RIP Preston Petty

Saw this earlier today from a vintage guy I follow.

GODSPEED! PRESTON PETTY (1941-2022) - Motocross Action Magazine

The name Preston Petty may not mean much to modern motocrosers, but to riders of that generation Preston was the consummate racer, inventor and product designer

And another legend gone.
It's becoming a regular occurrence.

After removing the lights on my first Yamaha Enduro, my first aftermarket accessory ever was an injection molded high front fender. The Preston Petty name was known to everyone back then who knew anything about dirt bikes
