Claim to fame... George Ross... Signer of the Declaration of Independence, Betsy Ross, Sewer of flags, Harry S. Truman, American President. Oh Yeah... I did get to meet Bill Murray while touring Universal Studios and the Girl That sang "Where have all the Cowboys Gone?" when she performed on my ship, The USS George Washington, CVN-73.

Damn that girl is HOT!! But my wife is better in bed!!! :dzq

Claim to fame, Raced MX at a high level for several years before injuries relegated me to club racing. Represented Scotland 3 times riding 125's in the european youth championships. Was winning Orkney beach race before i blew my kx125 up. Can call Mx GP winner Billy Mac a good friend. Thats about it really... oh, apart from the story involving me and my mate at last years valencia MOTOGP. We got invited in to the red bull hospitality tent because my mate is sponsoring a rider in the red bull rookies series. Kevin Schwantz walks into the tent and my mate (who is a bit crazy) runs up to him and shouts "MICK!..MICK DOOHAN, aww man you are my favorite rider" Kevin tries to walk away but my mate says "Wait the now, could you speak to my friend back home and say hi, he's a big fan of yours" Kevin says "no problem buddy whats your friends name". My mate phones someone and hands the phone over and says to kevin " this is my friend BAW BAG". Not a word of a lie, kevin takes the phone and in his texan drawl says" Well hey Baw bag hows things things?" I hit the deck laughing. It was one of the funniest things i have seen. (for those not from Scotland, Bawbag is a slang term for ones Scrotum). And who was it my mate phoned?? only former GP rider Niall Mackenzie. All the truth, i swear on my grans life.
