The classic bike festival in August Mr Kevin Schwantz will be riding the 2 stroke Suzuki once again. At £12 a ticket I am going... met this guy before, got his signature on my leather jaxket a few years back... what a weekend it looks to be

Jesus......you must be old. Even I can't remember that far back.

Seriously though, Kevin was  a great rider way back then.

Used to do battle with Eddie Lawson if memory serves.

Christ he MUST be skint, sitting there with Joe public gazing at him.

Legend though, and can still walk.

Well there was randy mamola, then Eddie Lawson, then Ron haslam on a cbr 1100, or Keith huwan on a Suzuki 1100, or the best Barry sheene. Just a few that i remember.

I remember the headline in MCN ..........Mick takes title number five......"Doohan it in style".

Them were the days 
Wayne Gardner too was amongst them at the time, though Doohan on the Repsol Honda always got my vote 

[Darth Loo-knee]

Have to say I lost interest when the 2 strokes finished.... remember Neil McKenzie leading at Donington years ago and the pub being in uproar

[jonny2112]

Forgot about McKenzie! Carl Fogarty had a brief sojourn into Moto GP too. Did pretty well from what I remember, though super bikes was definitely his thing.

Foggy was one of the best  I thought Donnington circuit went bankrupt , last time we went the facilities were not great
