Watched them battle it out on tv back in the day myself. Shaped me so much my bike's paint scheme is a tribute to Kevin's LS RGV. Nice video.

[rapid van cleef]

[codgyoleracer]

Looks like they had a helluva lot of fun out there aye, cant deny Schwantz commitment - Nor Rainys many more titles....

Yep thems were the days.
Moto GP is a total yawn fest compared to big two strokes (with no TC) smoking it off the corners.

Great clip. Shame it didn't have Darrel Eastlake and Barry Sheene commentating.

[RobGassit]

Brilliant video and great to see Kevin take a shit in Wayne's helmet. A real braking masterclass. Spyda's commentary was, as usual, hard to follow.

Still one of my favourite races
Gardner the scrapper with his fairing loose & rattling around from a massive tank slapper
Doohan just starting to come to the fore
Rainey being Rainey
Schwatz being Schwantz & crashing

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0niPmkyXzNc Sorry the commentary is in wog

The 89 race was pretty good as well, Gardner ran up the back of Rainey twice Rainey described Gardner as the sloppiest rider around, like a bulldog on a bike.

Thems the days.

I remember watching a race from that era back in the day at the Hockenheim round where Gardner's rear tyre was falling to bits due to the extended high speeds. He kept on it though despite chunks of his back tyre flying off at 250+km/h.

Still one of my favourite races
Gardner the scrapper with his fairing loose & rattling around from a massive tank slapper
(and his bike actually got faster as the fairing steadily dropped)
Doohan just starting to come to the fore
Rainey being Rainey
Schwatz being Schwantz & crashing

Thems the days.

Yep that is my all time fav. race.

3:09 to 4:mins in first video Crazy, crazy, crazy. Used to love watching those guys. The racing these days almost seems sterile by comparison.
