Ohhh, that was EXCELLENT!

I do recall reading about that film "back in the day". Now I finally get to see it.

Today's bikes are technical marvels, but I can't imagine that the skill level required back then to muscle those older ill handling, wheelie prone machines around. Watching Eddie, Wes, and Freddie for just that brief video heightens my respect for all of them.

Awesome, thanks for posting. Can't believe how cool the racer on the camera bike stays, would have been frustrating to say the least. Thank goodness for GoPros :laugh:

was an unexpected find for me too.... wonder where this japanese guy got his copy from?

was pretty amzing to see how much those heavy things moved around when cornering. and to have two future multiple 500 gp world champions at once on the same track...
