    i could spend waaayyy tooo loooong looking thru these.

    interesting to note:

    No pics of eddie lawson on his KZ1000R and only one of him on a kwaka.
    he also has the highest photo count for the US riders.

    I had completely forgotten Doug Polen rode a factory RC45 in WSB in 94.

    good ole NZ has 9 riders! should be 10....no Bruce Anstey or Robert Holden
    both IOM winners


    very cool site

    thanks SM

    Cool , but ....
    78 riders from England and not 1 of John Surtees? If it was long before you guys were born you should know that Surtees won 7 Grand Prix Championships before he switched to driving for the Ferrari F1 team. He won the F1 Championship in 1964.

    You want Sir John?

    HERE's a photo i snapped at Watkins Glen about 1983 with the former multiple world champ doing grunt work on his team's F1 car before Sunday moning practice!!

    certainly he shoud have been featured but most photos seem from way after he retired from 2 wheels

    Those Spencer VF750 shots are culo de gato!
    I absoutely love the 500GP push start pic with Roberts and Lawson in the foreground! That just became my new wallpaper for the home computer.


    Sorry honey, I won't be joining the family at the Christmas tree this holiday. I'm too busy soiling myself while looking at classic motorcycle racing photos.
