Just about to finish reading "Stealing Speed" by Mat Oxley and was wondering if any of the guys still rode.
Title: Re: Imola reunion video Post by: fastwin on January 20, 2011, 07:33:43 PM It was funny to see Paul Smart say he had the fastest bike in '72 when he won and now it's the slowest! [laugh] It was nice to see KR Sr. out there cutting it up and REALLY nice to see Steve Baker! He was the first American GP champ before King Kenny winning what was then the 1977 Formula 750 title. Too bad he retired from racing after a really bad crash at Mosport in 1978. No telling how much more he could have accomplished. [thumbsup]
Also great to see 1984 250GP champ Christian Sarron mixing it up. He still looks great! [moto] Title: Re: Imola reunion video Post by: orangelion03 on January 20, 2011, 07:46:18 PM [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup]

Who knows, if we didn't have an "Arms Race" in 1940's we might not of had racing two stroke engines at all. Title: Re: Imola reunion video Post by: monstermick58 on January 26, 2011, 04:26:02 PM TEASER,
That! Was pretty cool, is there a full version? Probably would help if I understood Italian. Thanks for showing [thumbsup] Mmick Title: Re: Imola reunion video Post by: yamifixer on January 27, 2011, 09:38:06 AM That was pretty cool. Would have loved to see more.
Agostini is twice my age and probably still twice as fast. |
