DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Dick Mann, a two-time winner of the AMA Grand National championship, died Monday. He was 87 years old.

Mann, from Salt Lake City, Utah, captured his first AMA Grand National championship in 1963 while riding for British manufacturer Matchless. he claimed his second championship eight years later while riding for another British marquee, BSA.

His success wasn’t limited to flat-track racing, with Mann capturing the Daytona 200 road course event in consecutive seasons in 1970 and ’71. His 1970 victory was the first for Honda in AMA competition.
