Nominate the greatest Kiwi racer.

**Big Dave** · 10th December 2008, 21:50

We have polls on the Kiwi Rider web site now.

The next one I would like to set up will ask

'Who is NZ's greatest ever motorcycle racer?'

But as an import I want to make sure I get the right names - up to 8 of them. More if needed - but say 8 is target.

So help an aussie out here - who are they and why?

I would like to put profiles together on the site as well - any info, pointers, links, interesting pics I can legally use appreciated - and duly credited too.

Anderson, Mauger....your turn.

I'm an Aaron Slight fan..........................Might've taken the WSBK title if he hadn't had a brain tumour.
He's a good down to earth dude as well.

More than you probably realise. Surprises me, the size of the field in events like the bel ray last weekend.

Many of them have road bike interest too - lots of the kids actually turn into the good road riders.
