During the 800cc era there have been a handful of evenly matched riders but not many evenly matched races. I watch races because I want to see battles between riders, not a parade of fast bikes. Unless we get more close racing on the track and more people capable of winning, I wouldn't consider the 800cc era one of the greats at this point.

of course... now field contains much more talent than in grossly overrated early 90s when two mentally fragile americans lead the pack coz doohan suffered from inexperiences, .... michelins here and there and injuries... with slightly better fortune he would have had 10 consecutive championships.

Compa, why you were ever "interested" is a mystery to me. If there was any aliases that screamed pinky it was #27aus!
Its a joke on everybody here. And he's the one laughing the most when he hooks people into exchanging with him. You got mods having a go at JohnnyKnock in the Lounge (who made a questionable joke thwarted by cultural differences and perhaps a bit of sensitivity); however, the brain power doesn't extends to something as easy as this very thinly veiled multiple aliases-spammer and troll here, over and over and over and over again....now this is truely the mystery.

its fun sometimes cos he is easy to disprove due to his lack of knoledge and childish attitudes, but cheap shots at rainey ends it for me

Umm... hmmm.... errr..... kinda hard to comment, like most hear, being that many were too young to remember the Rainy era, the Schwantz title, the 80's and early 90's in general. Hell, I was 10 when Rossi made his 500cc debut. Before that, I have not ....... clue.
.... the bed HF - I can see both the dog eared disheveled arm chair with my name on it, and the attendant domino set in the corner of the convalesence/care home beckoning already. Thank's for that...no doubt soon I will indeed be drooling out of one corner my arse as well as my mouth -incontinent and regularly shitting the bed, much to the chagrin of my abusive sadistic careworker.
You can't help your age, some of the most informed posts and balanced views come from the younger members of this forum, who perhaps lack the jaundiced cynicism of we, the 'senior' contributers to this site. It's a frank and bold admission that because of your age you weren't there to witness an era, and so are not entitled to pass comment. In fact you can. I wasn't around to watch Hailwood, although I started watching and going to races in the late '70's, I was never fortunate enough to see him race at a meeting. As a kid, I devoured whatever literature that I could on my heroes, and knowing of and being around people in the racing fraternity first hand from that time, I lapped up whatever anecdote they cared to regale me with. I believe, based upon the stories I hear from people who were there, and the hundreds of articles, both past and present that I have hoarded or memorised, and the footage that I have seen, that Jarno Saarinen was one of the most naturally talented races ever to have graced this sport....but I never saw him ride, and others may disagree. There is no absolute right or wrong answer. Of the riders I have seen, I think Spencer exuded the most natural talent, but that's my opinion, and there's already been another thread devoted to it.
What I find irkesome is when some members of this forum (one in particular springs to mind) seem to regard themselves as self appointed and self anointed oracles, and spout opinionated and uninformed so called 'facts' in a demeaning and condescending manner. It's as though they present themselves as an infinite font of knowledge which you are privileged to dip into and quench your thirst for enlightenment. This sort of pointless and pharisaical posturing pollutes powerslide.
Pot kettle and black? - sure, I'm a smug opinionated ....... too, but I post off the top of my head, and sometimes out of the bottom of my arse, but I don't mind being put in my place by the many people on here that know better - and I'm reasonably good at fighting my own corner too. I might argue the toss with say, Babel - ...., the other day I suggested he was preaching, which runs about as rich coming from me as my old sooted and coked up KH triple, but I respect the guy's opinion and the fact that his knowledge and posting is obviously spontaneous and forthcoming, which makes it even more of a challenge debating something with him. Similarly I love it when thread steers into a certain direction, as it did the other day on the subject of Ron Haslam and sponsorship, and someone like Rog immediately lobs in a comment about the hub center steering Elf Honda. Or recently he mentioned the H1-R which made me smile...thinking about it, I actually bought that old KH because of that ....... thing. It doesn't matter if you've never heard of these, or don't remember them - just don't pretend you do
HF -I'm sure you do have a clue, and an opinion, but perhaps receptive to the criticism leveled at you over your recent ageist comments, you've swallowed too large a slice of humble pie...don't choke on it kid!
It also doesn't matter if you weren't around during a certain era..Grand Prix Motorcycle racing is 60 years old for gawd's sake. But I would suggest it would be foolhardy to posit authoritative assertions, surmise spurious statements and type dismissive drivel about riders like Kevin Schwantz and his achievements both on and off the track if the only thing you were doing was dumping in a diaper at the time.

I call it punching the ignore button for real.
I've just noticed what this ..... has posted -(was too busy in a rant of my own, railing against someone's old signature at the time).
Pinky or whatever the .... you call yourself, if you really believe that ...., (and deep down I don't believe you do you antagonistic ....), you have not only finally exposed your innate ignorance about this sport, but you have yet again revealed your prejudice, vile contempt and disrespect -and thus I would hope, consigned another of your twisted identities to oblivion.
Don't hide behind internet anonymity you coward, PM me, tell me who you really are and where you really are and we'll talk.

Wayne rainey is obviously part of a rich pantheon of over-rated mentally fragile american sports stars. If he qualifies as such then offhand from sports of which I have vague knowledge I would have to also include jesse owens, ben hogan, rocky marciano, muhammed ali, jack nicklaus, mark spitz, kenny roberts senior, eddie lawson, joe montana, michael jordan, tiger woods and michael phelps
