Motorcycle Roadracing
Cutiegirl's thread got me thinking about bikes again. Thanks Traci-I didn't want to hijack your thread! Anyway,I am VERY connected/somewhat involved in one of the top privateer roadracing teams in the country. Used to do a little myself. I actually raced against,and beat,Dave Despain,if you know who THAT is.[8D]
Some of the older names are coming back now-Kenny Roberts,Freddie Spencer(my favorite),Eddie Lawson,Wayne Rainey,Wes Cooley,Mike Baldwin,Kevin Schwantz,Scott Russell and many,many others. I remember when Schwantz was racing WERA!
Too many before them to remember-Agostini,Duhamel,etc.[^]
Good stuff,real good...

It was in fact the Harley Davidson Vr 1000 Race Team and it went on alot longer then I thought it went from 1994-2001 and had a pole position in 1996 and put Pascal Picotte on the podium in 2001. Like I said it was a fast bike just engine trouble constantly.
The VR1000 evolved into the Vrod engine we have now.0 -

Different Duhamels - Yvon = Father, Miguel = Son
Anyone remember Geoff Duke and John Surtees? Phil Reed? Gary Nixon, Dick Mann (Daytona winner in 1970 and 71)or Gene Romero?0 -

Duhammel is a bad bad man on a bike always has been. Him and Honda are like peanut butter and jelly. You can have one without the other but its just not as good.0 -
