Stroud a little I guess, but Stroud is so tall and long that he is pretty unique and there is definitely no mistaking him on the track. Doohan hmmmmm not as much, he doesn't lead with his shoulder like Mick kinda does.

Have you got pics of Jay and Glen???

Thats not very nice!

I was just talking about the elbows...but the way the bodys positioned on the machine.
I'll see if I can find some pics of those guys a bit later.

Trying to look really good on your bike is very important when being lapped by half the field just as they are taking the chequered flag, I find...

Thing is...I generally look quite different depending on what I'm riding! Racing my 883 was quite different to piloting my RS250 GP bike, which was different to racing KX500's etc etc!

Road racing KX500's are some of my best road racing memories! When they were still competitive in F2, it was a great/cheap way to road race on street circuits. I'll see if I can dig up a few pics from back in the day!
