He adapted his dirt bike experience to road racing........and who's style did he follow to do that? And where and when did he pick it up?

No idea but Iā€™m bored now. šŸ¤£

casual GIF

He based his style on Jarno's after seeing him riding at the Ontario Motor Speedway in 1972.Ā 

It was at that point, after studying Jarno's technique and getting advice from him, that he started covering his knees with duct tape so he could drag them in corners.

Weather app said it would rain at 11am but it didn't start until five past. I pay Ā£5 a year for that, I expect better.

So you're stuck in a tent in the pissing rain, in England, and you're on a Harley?

So about 55 bhp per ton when you are sat on it.

Just done the numbers and with me on it it's 534bhp per ton.

So you were nearly right it does start with a 5

It's steaming here today.....no hope of getting out! Same forecast for tomorrow!

So an early start tomorrow is the only opportunity I'll get.

Something nice -Ā 

Have been talking for a while about going to America and riding about a bit. Little bits of info have been slowly piling up in my 'Ride America' file but it's way off at the moment. Maybe 2025 maybe not, all depends on how things are here.

Today my Texan friend who is a bit of a petrol head said he has a very good friend that has worked for Jay Leno for 30 years and if I was going to Los Angeles and I'd like to he could arrange for me to see his collection. How cool would that be. Makes me want to go right now!

I didn't say the highlight will be the Evel Knievel museum but I was tempted šŸ¤£
