OMG! Wash your mouth out with soap!
He is the best motorcycle racer of all time. And he has charisma flowing out of him that even the great Barry Sheene couldn't match.
Bikes are my other passion BTW.

I've narrowed the name down to 2 possibilities.

1/ Tino, for reasons listed above.

and,

2/ Zuki, after my suZUKI motorbike.

I'm gonna phone Tracy-Ann now and tell her I'm gonna drive down on Sunday to pick him up. I figured if it's ok for their driver to do it in a van, I might as well do it in my van. And the bonus will be that it's FREE! 2.gif I'll just use my bosses fuel card. nodding

And doing it this way I get to meet the famous Tracy-Ann and Sue, and pick up any extra info they can give me.

37 Barry Sheene was never that good, he was more famous for dating super models & having spectacular crashes :scared:

I guess Rossi is pretty good, but not the best..................................... :bad:

Overall records:

Rossi is fifth in all time world championship wins with 7 world championships along with Phil Read, behind Carlo Ubbiali and Mike Hailwood with 9 world championships, 聲gel Nieto with 13 world championships and Giacomo Agostini with 15 world championships.
Rossi is second in all time race wins standings with 94 race wins, behind Giacomo Agostini with 122 race wins.
Rossi is second in all time podium standings with 146 podiums, behind Giacomo Agostini with 159 podiums. 聲gel Nieto is third with 139 podiums.
Rossi is third in all time pole positions standings with 50 pole positions, behind Michael Doohan with 58 pole positions and Max Biaggi with 56 pole positions.
Rossi is fourth in all time fastest laps standings with 75 fastest laps, behind Giacomo Agostini with 117 fastest laps, 聲gel Nieto with 81 fastest laps and Mike Hailwood with 79 fastest laps.

hide hide hide :scared: :scared:

I like the fact you did some research on this. 0163951

BUT, remember that ALL those riders you listed above rode in multiple classes each race weekend, 250, 350, and 500cc, therefore being able to win more races and championships. This isn't possible in the modern era.

I'll stop boring you now with the bike talk.

Cheers for putting down my hero anyway Andy. 37 giggle

This is where Tino/Zuki is gonna live. It isn't massive, but I'm pushed for space as I live in quite a small apartment. And I got it for next to nothing brand new from a mate. BUT, it doesn't get here till Monday or Tuesday, so will Tino/Zuki be OK in a travel cage for a day or two?
