Yup to Murray Watt and on the nail with Herrings dad too. He was Jim Redmonds mechanic.

Going off topic, Jim Redmond is an interesting character. He was shipped out to Rhodesia by his parents during WWII like many UK kids were to Aus. There he was, 14 yo, having to earn a crust in a foreign country AND raise his kid brother and sister. In the midst of all this responsibility he still managed to carve out a career as, arguably, the greatest grand prix rider in history.

Respect Jim. You deserve it.

You will be deluged by Rossi fanboys for saying that, but much as I admired Hailwood as a youngster, Redman was my hero for being not just the works Honda team captain, but for being arguably the first of the true professional GP riders. We were lucky he came to Perth in 2003 for the historic roadrace nats, gave us an enthralling live stage interview, then celebrated his 72nd birthday by crashing while demoing a CBR600 and breaking his collarbone, the poor bugger. A good lad !

Here's another one. It's nearly Roof of Africa time so: For the last two years a Kiwi has won the Roof (Chris Birch), but an Aussie has won it. Who was he?

Sorry Tim,
But no Aussie has ever won the 'Roof'. Honest Muz is a Kiwi through and through!!

I am a Rossi fanboy! Give Vale his due, he acknowledges the sports history. Like carrying a banner that said "Sorry Mike" when he exceeded Hailwoods grand prix win total.

I met Jim. Once. Briefly. I shook His hand.

OK you buggers, how about some sidecar questions!
And try to keep it VMX, this wandering off into road raging is beyond most of us.
All very entertaining though.
BTW Ginger molloy made a chamber for my MT125 back in the day so I could scream all the way to work in the mornings. :D

How many wheels does a sidecar have?


Is that what you meant?  :D

I'll yield on this one. I thought Murray was an Aussie. So, you're right, no Aussie has ever won the roof.
