Who is
the Corona Kid?
Rolf Greenhill was born on January 2, 1960 in
Seville, Spain to Jack & Elizabeth Greenhill.
The desire to ride motorcycles began at an early
age for the young Greenhill. Eventually the determined
boy finally
got his wish when his father took him to Barber Yamaha in
Merced, California and bought him his first motorcycle, a mini enduro at the age of 10. Rolf frequented
motorcycle tracks with his brother and after his
first year of racing rough scrambles, Rolf was
picked up by Winton Cycle Suzuki. Rolf competed for
the shop for three seasons. While competing at Pioneer
Arena in Oakdale California Rolf's sponsor,
Charlie Bowman, suggest he try short track racing.
Over the course of the next four seasons, Rolf
competed at well known tracks such as Lodi Cycle
Bowl, Freemont Short Track Raceway, Antioch
Speedway, Tulare 1/2 and Bakersfield Short Track
mastering the art of short track racing while
earning top ranks in his class, pulling off the
championship in 1977.

Don & Daryl Rouff with Rolf Greenhill at the Tulare Vintage National
November 6, 1999 |
Rolf
took time off to raise a family after his
championship win and was introduced to motocross
racing in 1997 while attending an
AHRMA national at
the Hollister MX Track with D&D Bike Barn owner, Don
Rouff. During the event swap meet, Don
purchased a Montessa VR250 and sponsored Rolf with
his first vintage motocross bike. After 6 to 8
weeks of wrenching, the bike was complete and Rolf
participate in his first
AHRMA regional at Hangtown,
placing within the top 5 positions in the 30+
Sportsman Intermediate class. In 2005, Rolf
earned the first place title in the
Open Age Intermediate class and was moved to the
expert division where he competes today.
A motorcycle
enthusiast at heart, Rolf is also well known off the
track as he owns two Harley Davidson motorcycles and
enjoys long rides with friends when he's not racing.
Rolf's motto is to enjoy life and have fun with
whatever you do. Motorcycles and racing has
giving him the opportunity to meet hundreds of
wonderful and interesting people over the years.
His love for the sport has also enabled him, with
the help from his late wife Cookie, to develop the
Corona Kid Worm. The concept is a simple one ~
Be yourself, be an individual, set your goals and
you can do anything you set your mind to. The
Corona Kid Worm is a symbol of this concept.
