"The time a European came to visit."

[pritch]

YouTube apparently think we need to see this. After a week or so of it appearing in my suggestions I relented and watched it. I'm glad I did. YouTube were right.

Y'all may be familiar with Mr Sowman, I wasn't and that's my fault. It's apparent from the start that we're listening to a Kiwi. The production values are high and the story is interesting. It's well worth half an hour of your time.

Seems you're not the only one, it was in my recommended for a week too but your thread made me watch it. Fantastic story telling, even if you have little interest in MX. And judging by the comments on the video it would appear that many more 'casual or no interest in MX' people found the story riveting.

Yup watched it to the other week top story.

Fortnines Honda Rune isnt bad either some interesting stuff there.

[BMWST?]

Indeed, I was quite amazed. Honda do like to wave their willy now and again, though.

Funny,(strange) I watched it a few days ago, indeed it was a good watch.

I watched it about a week ago i think it came up in the 500 mx bike feed.

Pre dates the internet but i recall reading similar tales during the first European invasion - DeCoster, Robert, Geboers, etc. A line from cycle magazine quoting a local - "they used the (god forbid) FRONT brake"

[husaberg]

Bayle won two world MX champs before going to America thoroughly kicking arses and wining a few AMA MX and supercross championships

He then switched to road racing he raced 250 and 500 bikes scoring poles on both
after he retired he won Bol d'or and the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurances race.
