That's the first bike racing programme I've watched in a long while. Thoroughly enjoyed it too, thanks for the alert Boris Thumbs Up Think I might be getting the bug again!
I used to love watching the 500s. I must buy all the old Duke videos again of those seasons. Wish I'd kept them. Who knows, might even start watching current racing!

Edit: Oops, wrong name!

It was on a few months ago, was awesome. I managed to locate the first Unrideables for download, but I should now look out for the second.

I like the Triumph bit. He was concerned about an oil leak, don't all British bikes do that? Laughing

It's the voice-over style I have to try hardest to ignore... the rest of it is not too bad. Plus, he is riding roads that I am very familiar with - last night around the Clanfield/Black Bourton area, stopping (by the looks of it) at the Plough in Clanfield on his ride-out with his mate.

I re-watched the GP500 thing... I realised I had seen it before but it was still really compelling. You really realise how difficult those bikes were to ride fast.

Also didn't realise he was paralysed in a crash Shocked (told you I didn't know my history).


I was disappointed that at the end, after talking about it, grown men crying etc. they didn't actually show any footage of the Misano crash.

I suppose the producers thought it was a bit pointless, we all know the outcome, so it could be seen to be a bit gratuitous.

If you want to watch it, it's on Youtube, but it's not even that spectacular, if he'd done it another ten times, he would have got away with a broken leg or two.
