Who do you rate as the best motorcycle rider?

Postby bikergifts on Thu Aug 23, 2007 10:24 pm

Mike Hailwood - Barry Sheene - Valentino Rossi

Three of the greatest motorcycle racers from different eras of the sport, but who do you rate as your top rider?

Hard to really compare. You have road racers back in those days and now you have track racers. Vale is the king on the track but those old road racers have gigantic balls. I would love for Rossi to do Ulster or the Isle of Mann. I don't know why he doesn't if he's not opposed to the danger of rally cars unless it has to do with sponsors and contracts.

Real men ride the TT

Postby bikergifts on Mon Oct 08, 2007 7:01 am

I think it was Big Paul Hunt who said at the TT a few years ago when interviewed - "Real men ride the TT and leave the MotoGP to the boys". Having said that, I'm not to sure how some of these road race riders would do on a real circuit. McGuinness has never really shined on the short circuit, but Carl Fogarty and Steve Hislop showed their talent on both. Anyway, I voted for Hailwood - 9 world championships and 14 TT wins.

Mike the Bike was definately one bad mo-fo. One of my faves was Dunlop though. I love the fact that he was so low key and approachable.

Joey Dunlop

Perhaps I should have included "Yer Maun" in the list, as he was definately one of the top riders at the TT. I wonder how he would do against the new boy on the block - John McGuinness? Maybe the vote should have included about 10 or more riders, so who would your top 10 be?
