With a couple of the names on that trophy, it was hard to argue that he didn't belong. Congratulations!
If For no other reason than the season on the Cagiva on Pirellis. but there are at least 100 additional reasons.
I am in Los Angeles trying to remember...lefty tighty...righty loosey. Its not a matter of like with you. More like reverence I think. Im truly happy you are still pontificating. You and I have a connection, sir.
I remember watching that Mamola drift crash with my dad back in the day. I clearly remember him yelling "why are you looking behind you!" and then SPLAT! lol
Randy gave me a tour of the Tech 3 and Yamaha garages at Valencia last year. Man, that dude is all kinds of cool. I was in awe. Totally down to earth bloke who is still super enthusiastic about the sport. One of the best and totally deserving for sure.
My dad and I happened across him the first year in Indy. Just walking around the infield on the practice day. He was very approachable and normal.
How about when he took a piss on the side of the track after crashing? how do you think that would go over these days?
