Bet you didn't complain at the time,more a satisfied stretching of unused muscles and pondered life across the ditch.

Ah - not really.

I'm pondering 500 words about riding a V-max on Meremere drag strip and how to make said poll article interesting/worthwhile.

Keith Turner (even though he has never been too good at acknowledging the folk who helped him get 2nd in the 500 World Champs behind only Agostini, back in 1971).

Hugh Anderson National champion, Isle of Man winner and World GP winner

Also Dr Roger Freeth, RIP.
He was a force to be reckoned with aboard that big McIntosh Suzuki in the '80s.

Richard Scott deserves a mention.

Andrew Stroud too- understated and underrated.

Graham Crosby - 2nd behind Barry Sheene in 1982.

Just remember to spell his name Graeme and it was second to Franco Uncini not Sheene as Sheene never won another championship after Roberts took it from him '78.

Dave Hiscock has to make the list of great Kiwis too, though my vote for best would probably go to Anderson or Crosby. Anderson really stands out having been a NZ champion on the road and in Motorcross and he's still going.

Mauger (speedway) was a legend in his time for sure and before him Barry Briggs and before him Ronnie Moore as named above.

Geoff Perry has to be there too, he was really starting to make a name for himself when tragically taken from us in the plane crash. I am sure he could have gone on to greatness.
