He's still a legend...
Um, not trying to be a pendant but if you're a legend won't you always be a legend?

That is Revvin Kevin!

Legend.

Like he said!

Well that's a jolly good point mate. You are 100% correct. The offer is now 6.50.

But simply thought I'd throw this in cause it's about numbers...and race bikes have numbers!

Do you know what the 'zero' said to the 'eight'?

"Nice belt"

You'd better get that offer back up to the original 8.50 if you want me to deal with that sense of humor!

Fuck off mate...I'm perfectly (obviously) happy keeping myself amused!

And all I can say about those two...is they were bloody lucky I was too busy that year drinking to bother getting my leathers out.

Sweet pic man,I remember years ago around 94-95 I won a competition being run by AMCN that got me free membership to the Kevin Schwantz fan club.

Got a parcel sent to me from Texas with a KS bandana,sponsors stickers etc but my most prized posession out of that is an autographed photo which still holds pride of place above me telly.

Still my favourite racer ever.

:whocares:

Normally I wouldn't have bothered but I was worried that the the legendary status of my hero was possibly not being portrayed in the best possible light.

:bleh:
My bad...

Gone and fixed it.

Anything else?
It's all good, I can see how you might have made an error in the blinding glare of such awesomeness!

Had to leave early today and damned gutted to miss out on witnessing that battle with Mr Anderson

But to see Schwantzy catch and pass Dave Cole yesterday was way cool as well.

8th February 2009, 21:01

He done did it again today! Epic duel swapping the lead, neck and neck into the hairpin. Matchy and Norton battles! Old school FTW.

Dave C has talked about nothing else since he came home today. He was at Puke today and he has described every moment of the Anderson/Schwantz race to me (repeatedly). Sounds like it was a fantastic race and a great day out.

8th February 2009, 21:18

I had a brief chat to him today too and taped part of the interview he did at the track.

He was very nice to talk to. So was his dad.

I went to the classic festival on sunday as Kevin Schwantz is it for me, there aint no one better in my opinion. spent about 10 mins hanging round his pit to see if we could catch a glimpse and maybe an autograph. when hello he comes up to me from behind and asks where I got my shirt from(one of his obvoiusly). The better half took a snap of the 2 of us and he signed my arm. what a top bloke he was, I never expected him to find me. And just for shits and giggles (not really, its a big deal to me) I had that autograph tattoo'd yesterday. will post some pics later.

sidecar bob

10th February 2009, 23:21

We went to the On Tap bar with Kev, Scrivy & wife Viki, Guzzi Widow (Jos) & I & a few guys from Suzuki NZ.
Bloody good night it was, Sounds like Scrivy & Kev are off for a fang on the 'Busa tomorrow. Should be fun.
Yes, i know, pics or it didnt happen. They will follow, maybe in a new thread.
