Here is a more modern oldie:

I wondered what happened with the Suter. The web site still mentions the bike, but mostly (all so far) about it being raced at the TT.

If we're looking at not so oldie bikes, then here is an interesting combination. A 1968 Ducati 250 single engine in someone's Moto3 development frame.

Gotta love a Cafe Racer

Barry was right, if the bike was scrutineered and given a sticker, they can't then say 'Oh actually that needs changing'.

Wonderful video! Thanks for sharing JPS. .... I love 2 strokes...

Dammit JPS, now I'm down a rabbit hole.

50cc classic racing, featuring a Kreidler.

Not an oldie but WELL PLAYED APRILIA.

I especially love the fake expansion chambers. Even though they won’t ring-a-ding-ding

I'm watching the 2008 250cc season. When watching old seasons, I find it interesting to watch the riders I don't really remember because I was only watching MotoGP then. (Or I simply forgot.) Here's Alex Debon. Sadly it seems that by the time he became competitive, it was a bit too late.

Not sure if this fits here, but who is the greatest rider who never won a championship in any GP Racing class?

I mean no 50/80/125/250/350/500/Moto3/Moto2/MotoGP championships at all. But, nearly there.

When I was looking (for other reasons) at Mika Kallio's history, he has two 2nd places in 125cc, one 2nd place in Moto2, and a 3rd place in 250cc. But, no championships at GP level. Is there anyone who beats that, without having a championship win?

Hi everyone, I bet through https://melbet-au.com/en
For a few months now, the platform is convenient and has many betting options. Especially happy with the line on cybersports and live betting. Payouts come quickly, no problems with withdrawal. Does anyone else here use Melbet? Interested to know what strategies work best for you?

 

[AnnoyingTwit]

I save huge amounts on online (or any type of) betting by never doing any at all. And in particular not with sites that go around spamming forums and where a quick google will show it's a scam.

A torrent with fifteen 500cc races from 1988 just appeared. Most of this collection are complete races. Naturally, you won't find HD videos there, but they are watchable.

What they didn’t show you in that video was interviewing the official who said Barry Shene seems to think there’s one set of rules for everyone else that don’t apply to him
