Classic Footage

[jamiey]

Take 6 mins from your day today to watch this vid - Schwantz on his RGV500
Those bikes must have been sooo good to ride, the bike just looks like all it wants to do is squirm out from under its rider and go it alone!! 5.28min for some quick reactions to keep it in check.
Awesome vid

Oh those were the days!

I like when they get head shakes / tank slappers, but just power through them, pop a wheelstand and fuck off like they simply ain't got time.

Plenty spooky once those tyres are burnt up!

...back in the day when bikes fought back!

That made my day. Best race bikes to watch, they (FIM rules) kept adding weight to them but they still are much better than poxy 4 strokes.

That middle sequence reminds how smart Rainey was, - that he could race with & beat more often than not; someone so overflowing with talent shows what a professional (if not as spectacular) racer he was.

Oh wow, what amazing footage - even more fun than watching Stoner and Rossi fight it out. The bikes have sure changed since then.

And some of it's almost like watching chess on motorcycles, you can see them planning corners well in advance, passing constantly. I love it.

Very cool vid......no traction control in those days, as it should be.
