Guy Martin / Cameron Donald / John Mcguiness

I love Guy Martin, proper down to earth bloke. That "How Britain Worked" series he did was excellent & he seems like an all round good egg :smile:

 

i like too many of them but apart from the Brits i tend to like Rossi.. have done for many years...

 

Not forgetting the one & only late Barry Sheene. He was a childhood hero of mine.... What a legend! Use to quite like Carl Fogarty too.

I have pictures of both Guy Martin & Barry Sheene all over my office wall.

 

Don't forget Bruce Anstey top guy and always one to watch but remember he won the TT a few years back on a Daytona 600.

 

All great riders and to have the courage to ride these road courses at the speeds they do is just amazing. Had the pleasure of riding the 37 mile road course at the TT in 2011 on my Ducati (not racing I may add) and there are not many places I would want to fall off.

I would like to add Michael Rutter onto the list, another great older rider and TT regular. If anyone watched the TT legends ITV 4 program it was a great insite into how these road racing teams work, interesting as well learning how much of a salad dodger John McGuiness is :smile:

A young guy coming up in the world is BSB's Alex Lowes, met him at Donnington Park per-season testing, while other riders were hiding in their motor homes he was out talking to the fans. I nicer chap you could not wish to meet and a great talent for someone only about 21.... Think he going to do well.

Another road racer I love to watch is Michael Dunlop, never happy unless he is first. The guy has NO fear and noticed how he still wanted to race at the TT in 2011 when it was still damp while others said it was too dangerous!

 

And Joey Dunlop......

 

Foggy v's Edwards mid ninetees, made me buy a Ducati, shame it was crap.

 

It was always kevin schwantz vs wayne rainey when I was growing up good racing in those days!

Looking forward to a good moto gp this year, I like marc marquez already!

 

Hi gents,- anybody who has the blks to ride like they do are all heoroes,even better better when british !
TT bsb and moto GP are all good, many riders deserve better but we all cant be winners.
you can name them all, crutchlow and martin need to relax alittle more and enjoy and be patient as all comes to he who waits.
Anybody goin to the TT for the second week, see you there!

 

Guy's a great character, a great racer & everybody loves him, including my missus who has very little interest in bikes, & he's great TV. But the truth is, he aint quite wired up like the rest of us.

 

You don't say.... Who'd of guessed that?? Lol
