Metzger Meets Metzger

I've been waiting for this for the longest time. Mike Metzger, my buddy that rides for Transition - finally got in touch with moto legend Mike Metzger. The amount of confusion that has occurred because of their same names is ridiculous. Here's what Mike had to say: (taken from his post on the Transition blog)

So This year Transition sent me down to Cali for the Woodward West Super Sessions. After the flight to Cali some buddies and I crashed at Carter Hollands place before the event. While there I met a young Ripper named Thomas Hancock. If you haven't herd of him yet, you definitely will. At first i introduced myself to Thomas as Mike, leaving out my last name because it had no relevance. But soon after one of my buddies said, 'Hey Metzger, hand me that tool'. At this point I got a funny look from Thomas, and he asked me if I knew that the Moto cross Metzger talks about me. Dumb found i replied 'no'. Thomas went on telling me that Metzger (moto metz) has watched my videos and seen pictures of me on the internet. I asked him how he knew this, and Thomas told me that he rides for Metzger (moto metz). Next thing i knew Thomas was calling Metzger up and leaving him a message telling him that he was hanging out with the mountain bike Mike Metzger he has seen on the internet. About 10 minutes later he called back and asked to speak with me. Long story made boring, I was able to talk with him on the phone and for the first time ever Mike Metzger met Mike Metzger. It was a very cool experience, and a great story to come back and tell my friends. Hopefully in the future, Mike Metzger will have a chance to ride with Mike Metzger
