Schwantz at Pukekohe for the big Classics meet a couple of years back was completely the opposite. Chilled, relaxed and would talk to anyone. Really nice guy.

I guess that's the difference between winning a world championship and not. Eye on the ball even when you're not actually racing.

I agree entirely. Kevin was just one of the guy's that weekend and was having a great time. He did have his race face on though for the battles with Dave Cole. I overheard him telling Mr Mckintosh about a footlever setting that wasn't right. He was pretty serious. Absolutely bloody awesome to have these guy's floggin bikes in our humble back yard.

Yup........ funny how some come across on camera/against real life.
I had the opportunity to meet a couple of my idols back in the late 90,s at a press day when they came to ride some very fast drag bikes for fun/promotion.
They were Kevin Schwantz & Randy Mamola.........
Kevin..... a stuck up/pretentious little toe-rag with a im a superstar _ who the f**k are you attitude.
Randy... a top bloke/down to earth with a real likeness of anyone interested in bikes...kind of guy you would take to the pub for a drink.... and we did.
And guess who just hopped on a turbo/nitrous 400hp bike for the first time and just nailed it........... yup Mr Mamola, his comment on returning "you guys are f**king nuts"

wow re your comment about Schwantz, i got a bit pissie eyed with him in Germany years back, and he was a genuine good bastard as far as I am concerned, but each to there own I guess


HAHA, perhaps PRICKS get on well together eh or he just did not like the company he was in at the time

Hey!
Just an observation from the day (re; the two guys)
For all i know KS could have had the weight of the world on his shoulders!!!!!!!!
He just didnt cut it with us that day.......... maybe he just didnt wanna be there?
I still have the greatest respect for him as a rider though.
and from comments on here he isnt always like that.
