Just thinking out loud here, but I wonder how much Redlines sales dropped when RL went to General. Seems that a lot of people that were riding RL-20ll's switched over to Generals when he started riding for them. Makes you think about how influential he was.

I mean...Huffy, of all brands, was one we would NEVER buy no matter who rode their bikes. I know Stu wasn't freestyle but still... Sorry, didn't mean to derail the thread, carry on with the General...!
