    Wayne Rainey.
    WHY ,
    He was only just starting to stamp an authority on the 500s when he had the siliest of crashes that put him in a wheelchair.

    He had shone so well in the AMA series, the Trans atlantic series, 250 GPs and the 500s.
    If he was anything but American id pick he would have won the IOM as well as other champs.
    He was amazing and rated by Alan Cathcart as the most talented rider in a premier class, echoed by Kenny Roberts and finally admitted at one time by Eddie Lawson.
    Yupp he was a great rider and what happened to him was just a bitch.

    # 2 pick for me would be a toss up of Doug Pollen or Frankie Chilli.(Go #7)

    Paul.

    DB is the new Porridge. Cause most of the mods must be sucking his cock ..... Or his giving them some oral help? How else can you explain it?

    I must agree Rainey is up there in the top list. I think Kevin status was built on the fact that Rainey was his rival

    Mike the Bike. After an 11 year hiatus (in New Zealand no less) during which time he didn't race any bikes he climbs straight onto a Ducati 900SS and wins the Isle of Man TT at age 38. Tragically killed (as was his daughter) by a truck doing an illegal turn.

    Joey Dunlop would be my 2nd choice. His fuck the money lets go race attitude rocks.
    Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

    Doohan. Hardest cunt ever.

    Lawson. Meanest race face and a machine.

    Rainey. No explanation needed.

    Not sure if it counts - but John Britten.

    I think the guy did what so many only dream of, and enabled a number of racers at the same time. The book about his life (by Tim Hannah) is a good read.

    Great top 3
    I saw a young Doohan get lapped by Rainey (sideways down the corkscrew...) at Laguna Seca in his first season and the yank fans making noises about the young aussie not having what it takes! Gotta smile now.
    Good to see Awesome Lawson get a mention - textbook rider - the purists choice.

    Cheers! Lawson won on Kawasakis, Yamahas, Hondas then a fucking Cagiva!

    Hard to top that! They say he was like a computer as far as set up went!
