Title: The Unrideables
Post by: beekay on Saturday, 10 June 2017, 09:18 PM
Hi All,

Maybe slightly off topic, but anyone watch The Unrideables and Unrideables 2 about the GP500's Late 80's early 90's this week?  Awesome looking back at that period, these riders were something else  :notworthy:, no electronic aids just skill. I remembered a lot of the races and shouting at the TV with excitement, great memories !!!

Cheers,

beekay  :cheers:

Modern day motorgp is just plain boring, riders are losing skills, and that is what riding is all about

Nope. I assume it must have been on TV in the UK.

Races from that time were certainly special, but I don't entirely agree with you Ross. I think today's riders just have a different skillset, not a lesser one.
