Dick Mann "Taking Care of Business" Full Movie
Спорт
Here is the full documentary on one of America's most decorated and versatile motorcycle racers of all time, Dick "Bugs" Mann. We take a look at his life and career in some of his own words, and captured the amazing memorial held by the Richmond Ramblers MC after Dick's passing. It was a hell of a ride Bugs!
"America has never produced a more accomplished and more versatile professional motorcycle racer than Dick Mann. He held a position in the prestigious top ten in the American Motorcyclist Association Grand National Championship for 16 years, was the first man in history to win every category of AMA Grand National competition, was America’s team captain at the Trans-Atlantic Match Races in Great Britain in 1971, was twice AMA Grand National Champion, won the Daytona 200 twice, and much more." - by Ed Youngblood, author of Mann of His Time
Dick Mann has been inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame, AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame, and Trailblazers Hall of Fame among the many areas of recognition of his illustrious motorcycle racing career.

Thank you so much! Honored to be chosen to produce this for you all to have forever !
Fantastic! Richard and Kay have been blessing of great proportion. It was especially so that it was a tough time in my own life. He never acted superior, but was rather championing and reassuring me that life would turn around. It did, of course. His knowledge and experience was staggering, but what I remember is him telling me everyone goes through hell in life sometime, but Keep going. I’m still going . Love and blessings always

Such a legend! Always and forever !
A wonderful tribute for a man certainly worthy of such a video. Dick's biography "Mann of His Time", written by Ed Youngblood, remains one of the best books that I have ever read. I can't imagine anyone who enjoys motorcycling not being mesmerized reading about this man's life on two wheels.

@@Media66inc I wound up riding motorcycles because my dad had started doing so back in the 60's when I was just a little kid. I tip my cap not only to Mr. Mann, but also to any of his contemporaries who helped pave the way for those like me and countless others who benefited from their efforts and enthusiasm.
A great rider.I was at the Daytona 200 in 1970 and saw Dick Mann win the race on the750 Honda 4 .

I remember Dick showing up for the Sturgis half mile in an old van with bald tires. 68 or 69 if I remember right.
Back in the late 60's and early 70's when I loved dirt bike racing, RRMC would hold scrambles several times a year, and we tried to make as many as we could. It was a great piece of land to race on. One race was very muddy because of all the rain. A hill climb was a part of the sramble that day. No one could make it up that slick hill without jumping off and push the bike up the hill. Then Dick Mann shows up with a 250 with the biggest knobby tire I've ever seen. Dick just flew up the old slick hill like it was level ground. Then went on to lap everyone in that heat. Ha! we thought we were pretty good riders. Dick was great. And a nice guy.

Nice video. I saw him race at Sacramento a couple of years in the mid 60's, one year with the number 2 plate, not sure about the other year. He was working for my father-in-law at Karl's Motors at the time.

That’s so awesome! He definitely has many years of stories behind him! I think it’s a blessing when we get to meet people like this in our life’s who inspire us in our lives!
I've one of his mk4 TT500s with the original tank and side covers. [That frame was derived from his XR500 kit]. After several emails he gave up and replied and verified what it was. Told me another UK frame with cobby welding would have been his own first build. Humble about his talents.
