Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

An RC30 was what I lusted after the most in the two wheeled world.
Followed closely by the GSXR750RK (aka the GSXR750RR)
And this rated up there pretty highly too.
'twas my first bike.The "widow maker" title belonged to Kawasaki triples.
RDs handled very well for a bike of that era.

Jeez mate....that could have been the one i had. Same awesome red as the one i had. It was such a machine. Great bike. 220 kph no prob's.
My bike of choice would be the Hurricane or/and the T160 Trident. Mate brought the very first new one into NZ in 1976. Blew me away at the time. Would also settle for a Norton 850 Commando.
That Rothmans VFR 750 would be in my top 5 for sure. I had a CBR600 in Rothmans colours over in the UK. Loved it!
OH shit you could be correct his email said
Hey mate
Got another couple of wins at Paeroa.
New bike is horn! Cheers
But the pic he attached may not have been actually at Paeroa, teach me to assume the pic was at the same place, sorry!
I'm pretty sure he told me he won his class and came mid pack on this old thing against all the new R1's and CBR's in the invatation race at Wanganui, Thats pretty good if my memory is right??
Sorry mate I stand corrected!!

Aw shit I was looking for a photo of a Rothmans RC30 when I found this...
