Jon "The Junk Man" Rhodig

Jon “The Junk Man” Rhodig is a team manager and crew chief for Team MGR (MGR Racing) and has been since its inception in 1996. The team consists of both ATV and motorcycle riders. Jon chooses to ride motorcycles over ATVs but since Team MGR rides and races at just as many ATV events as motorcycle events he has become very diverse in the workings of the sport ATV world.

In the over 10 years the team have been racing and promoting motorcycle and ATV events, Jon has picked up many tips and tricks along the way that he intends to pass along to the ATV world. According to Jon, “I am not a pro racer nor ever will be but what I am is a knowledgeable regular rider out there to help the average rider get the most out of his or her ATV or motorcycle. My riding talents are about as diverse as my knowledge. I participate in motocross, hares-crambles, dirt track, observed trials, mini-moto (pit bike) and just about any other motorcycle sport.”

As crew chief of Team MGR, Jon and the team have ridden and raced just about any type of event you can think of, including a short run racing series on Speed Channel called “Rapid Turnover” which involved ATVs and motorcycles in the same race with a change over in between during the race. Jon also participates in some non moto related events and hobbies such as 10K road races, restoring motorcycles and automobiles, snow skiing and hiking. He is also known around forums as “The Junk Man”.
