Next info project - famous bikers.

[Big Dave]

The greatest kiwi racer thing came together quite well - thanks everyone who put in. Early days in a close race:

Next I'd like to try and compile is a list of famous people - fictitious or real - and their motorcycles.

I've got images for

Fonzie - Triumph and Sportster
Eastwood & Locke - Chopper
McQueen - Triumph
Munro - Indian
Margaret - Triumph
and a few others.

Any suggestions: An image is good - a name and a bike type just as good.

only Kiwi's that spring to mind at the moment are

Dr Roger Freeth- who went on to probably be more famous for his rally car racing than bike racing.

Gareth Morgan- Economist, and Author of silk riders book along with his wife Jo.

Sorry haven't got any pictures of them.

[Big Dave]

>>Tom Cruse (arsehole):<<

Most successful people I look at and think - I'd like some of whatever they are on - I see Tom on TV and hope I don't catch whatever it is.
