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!

Looks like we may have a decent sized group for the ride out. Main meeting point Sainsburys car park (far end) about 11am.
