Excellent thread. This is exactly what we need. I really don't have favourite riders bar the 'Greatest of all Time' - but Mike was from a completely different era.
I loved all the American ex dirt trackers. Transformed the sport.
Wayne Rainey - beyond question.
Norick, for his fabled wildcard appearance in '94 - still one of my favourite races of all time.
Rob Mac, purely because of the comical image of him attempting to slipstream on the Mistral with the aerodynamics of a barn door.
And while I have the chance, I'll save Doc No the trouble...

Arrab....was schwantz anywhere near Rainey? Or just a bit more ballsy and in the end...you know.
Their battles were just before my time, I only watched in retrospect.
But I do remember schwantz still being around when I started watching ...obviously that was short lived . I curse that he didn't stay around to battle doohan. Could have been my first epic duel to remember.
I always liked doohan and in retrospect I dig his straight talking. I never understood why we're not choking on his shlong more

Technically, many would say not - but the Suzuki was generally less competitive than the Yamaha and perhaps for the large part a greater challenge to ride than the Yam.
All those guys had balls.
There is a classic move of Schwantz's (amongst many) that I always remember - going around the outside of Rainey into the Melbourne loop. Can't recall the year. Their rivalry was scintillating and pushed them to the absolute extremes of their talents respectively.
Yet despite all their disdain for each other the racing was clean.

In the 90s Biaggi was what kept me watching GPs, when Doohan and the NSRs were crushing all before them.
I've written it before but young Italian bloke on Black bike from little factory in Noale smacking the Hondas. Switching bikes and smacking Aprilia. And absolutely killing it during his first 500 outing.
Then the hero and villain .... started...

Is Anthony Gobert from the 90's? I've heard great things about him.
I actually couldn't think of his name so I googled drug addict Australian motorcycle rider and his wiki was the first hing that came up.

mmm, Latisha.... :yes2:
Seriously Dubs, if you ever get the chance watch the races on that day and what he was able to do on the underpowered Muzzy machine
No excuse for how HE f*cked up his own life and what he became but man, the talent wasted is (or was) immense
And, you ....... for doing Arrib's work for him ............. he usually brings Gobert into the picture to annoy me as he knows what I think of Gobert
