By public vote.
Wall of Fame link.
Some interesting names. Yet Ewan and Charley?
I guess they promoted the use of motorcycles to a wider audience.
Something I guess BMW and their GS sales will be grateful for.

That said, kudos to Charley for even starting a Dakar race.

Thumbs Up

a fair bit of variety on there, it wasn't just short track riders of the last 5 years.

Shame people in N.I could not vote otherwise Joey would have been NO.1, otherwise a fair and concise range of riders covering all aspects of motorcycle sport other than the crying baby Fogarty.

No Gaston Rahier? Sad

5'3' guy who won several Dakar rallies on bikes with seat heights over 40". When I read his story I felt a right mong for fretting so much over seat heights.

Well spotted Laughing I reckon a 40 foot high bike would have no issue with most of the obstacles encountered on the rally.

It seems like a list of the Brits with a handful of the TOP foreign johnny's.

The fact Ted Simon is after Ewan and Charlie is a fucking travesty.

Read his story on this blog last year. The bit with his BMW melting into the ground was gutwrenching. What a guy.
