I met Beno at an AHRMA Cross Country race my club helped promote a few years back, and he is the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet!

Holy Smokes! Limey Heaven! (Brought a tear to my eye).

I didn't have time to watch the whole video, but you can bet that I will.

Holy Smokes.

Finally, a guy that rides more than bob. I think. I entered a national hare scramble. And rode a few 25 mile cross country races. I can’t imagine ever riding as much as Beno Rodi, and at that level. Still can’t believe what I just heard. Not to mention his collection. Just incredible.
