Having had the living shit scared out of my years ago when I was silly enough to swing on a TZ700 chair...I fully know how mental trying to ride one in the dirt was/is!

He said of that bike 'You can't pay me enough to ride that thing"

I've probably posted that one several times,but no one seems to notice.He was riding in the bails,and clipped them a few times - on the Mile they are doing 100mph,160kph in the turns.Beauchamp said he heard him coming,but it was too late.That race is one of the most incredible achievements ever - a one shot on a bike that no one would ever want to ride....even Roberts himself.

What an amazing demonstration of skill........

"Race authorities reacted to Robert's win by banning his bike...."
Yup..... What might have been....

Okay, may be a bit dangerous for most...

I'm often putting something in about flattrack - but they don't get it....it's just going around in a circle,boring.They don't realise that road racing changed dramatically once Kenny Roberts went GP racing....and all the Americans after him.They teach road racing on dirt tracks in the US....I think if they did the same here we might see a change.

I've also said here more than a few times we need guys and girls going round in circles to make better road racers...I'm 100% with you there. Matt Mladin and Casey Stoner came from the Aussie flat track scene...and just about all of the Yanks.
