Ah… someone with a taste for the classics – a time when men were men and even the tarmac trembled in fear. The only riders Rossi holds in high regard!

There's no traction-control or anti-wheelie on that puppy is there, just a liberal amount of climbing all over it to keep the front end more or less down – lovely :-)

Those 1990's 500's were brutal, that was racing, Schwantz, Rainey, Doohan etc!!
It's all a bit tame now, but Rossi is in a different league to the rest.

Have to say I agree with you Lee, even some riders say there should be no rider aids.

I'd like to see them take on the machines they ride without them!
