Moderator YamaHead Posted May 20, 2005 Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2005 Mucho Respect for the rider who truly pioneered the Hang Off style of riding & was an Inspiration to King Kenny who brought that style to the forefront of Road Racing, as we know it today.

Pete Posted May 21, 2005 Author Share Posted May 21, 2005 aye pete, i'm going to buy that for him. he'd love to see him in action again ← Yeh...he'd really enjoy that Alan. Cos back in those days the only info you got was from MCN cos nothing was ever televised. When you see how much he dominated every thing and everybody then you'll realise why everybody of our generation says he was the best. Like I say, you have to see it....cos every race he was in, there was never actually a race. All you see is him passing everybody (even on the grass ) and then just dissappearing away and lapping the field....even as a Privateteer against works bikes.
