Moderator YamaHead Posted December 15, 2003 Author Moderator Share Posted December 15, 2003 Another dream Motorbike holiday for me would be to see the Jerez GP.....from what I understand, it's the largest crowd-drawing Motorsport event in all of Europe :shock: 8) ....... It's interesting how it took Haga a couple of seasons to come to terms with the Strokers' Carbon Brakes & vertually NO Engine Braking :? .....but like any good rider, he makes it look easy :tu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted December 15, 2003 Author Moderator Share Posted December 15, 2003 Only to be fair.............here's one of McCoy outta the same corner @ Jerez..... I recently read where McCoy still doesn't have a ride for next season :? ......I can't believe some team hasn't picked him up yet :!: .....he's really quite a talented rider, & NOBODY can ride Speedway styled like he can! :tu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted December 15, 2003 Author Moderator Share Posted December 15, 2003 Here's one of Matsudo @ Estoril......I think this was taken from the same season that Olivier Jacque won the 250 world title....... He's one of the few ridiers left in the Quarter-Liter class still riding a Yamaha.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Have you seen the Duke Video tribute to him mate? Phenomenal....every race it's like there's no one else on the track...yet youngsters would like at the record books today and wonder what all the fuss was about. But I've never seen complete dominance like that in all classes either before or after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted December 30, 2003 Author Moderator Share Posted December 30, 2003 Haven't seen that Duke Vid yet........I'll have to check into that :wink: I have seen the GP series & a tribute to Mike the Bike though..........Ace flicks :tu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 I think it's called "Against all odds". You really want to see it....cos as you probably remember, years ago we hardly ever saw any coverage of motorcycle racing. And his level of skill compared to the likes of Ago, Read etc is staggering....has to be seen to be believed. You also see some of his legendary overtakes on bends while on the grass....amazing stuff. We'll never see the likes of him again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
