SLIGHTLY FAMOUS/SUCCESSFUL ROAD RACER

Nice to hear 1 two stroke in a sea of blandness

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

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.

Some years back i was practicing at the local MX track with Steve Martin. At the time he was on a CRF450R and was matching it with most of the PRO riders. A sight to see.

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

'Comedian' should have been in comma's

(The Jerk was his high water mark), Steve used to go the Mt Gambier bucket races when he was a big time Superbike rider ihere in Australia.

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.

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

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................. $:-\$

First and only win, in fact Tony. Pole, fastest lap, and win, a big day out for the lad. Can't help feeling his results somewhat undervalue Magoo's prolific natural talent.....
