Nice to hear 1 two stroke in a sea of blandness ;D

That was awesome but who won and where did the old dog Schwantzie finish?

Post by: JohnnyO on November 18, 2009, 09:01:55 pm: Apparently Dovizioso won and Rossi was 2nd.. no mention of Schwantz.
I went motocross riding with Rossi and Melandri at a track in Italy back in '98 and Rossi was no slouch. He was CR125 mounted back then.

He's a good comedian too plus he's just released a banjo solo Album. What a versatile bugger! ;)

I've seen him live and reckon he's a f**king genius. His Saturday Night Live stuff from the 70's is brilliant, but his movies are mostly shite I have to admit. Sadly I've never seen him on a superbike or trolling the streets of Mt Gambier.

Post by: Lozza on November 19, 2009, 04:15:41 pm: I think the writers and the rest of the cast of Saturday Night Live made him look good there. His live video lasted 3mins in the VCR on a rainy day..................................
The 'other' Steve Martin won the World Endurance Championship(WEC) in between commentating duties ;D

Kevin Magee turned up at Mt. Gambier one weekend (after winning his first GP) on an SL 100 riding in the bucket class. God knows why................. :-\
I've got a photo.................. somewhere.......................
