Welcome to Bobby SirKegian's Website!Talk about a cool story to tell. Please allow me to share my Dad's. I am one of Bobby's daughters and I am proud to start this process of helping a very humble man (my Dad) share his amazing story... and his Dad's story before. The SirKegians — essentially my Grandpa (Bob Sr.) and Dad (Bobby) made and created a new motorsport : motorcycle DRAG racing. I told you it was going to be cool! Bobby has been, over the course of the last decade, painstakingly and lovingly restoring his collection of late 40's through late 50's racebikes. They are drop-dead gorgeous, meticulously exact in every detail and are gradually being made available to museums and collectors. What he did in the saddle of those bikes WILL NEVER BE REPEATED. That is not a line, it is fact. There won't ever be another First AMA Grand National Champion... much less a 13 year old boy as THE National Champion of a dangerous motorsport as my Dad was when he broke the mold on his bright red Triumph Twin in 1953.It was April of 1953 in Pomona, California, and to help commemorate it 58 years later, I am rebuilding his website. With love. I hope you enjoy it, too. With pride, Ava (Sirkegian) Lemert |
