    Still remember the pix of his SR500 when the frame broke behind the steering head while leading a GP in the sand think it was Lommel 86.
    The bike was in 2 bits cost him the champs and he quit Kawasaki for Honda the following year.

    R.I.P. Was a joy to watch.

    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.
