Way back in 1986 I rode an R80 around Australia for 5 months. It was a great adventure. Then in 1989 I rode the same bike over the Nullarbor again to see the 500cc GP in Phillip Island. That was the year Wayne Gardner won.
In the early 90's I was working in Europe. I had a Ducati 900 and went to the Isle of Man to watch the TT races. I got to see Joey Dunlop racing. Such an incredible event to see. It is just phenomenal how fast the top riders lap the circuit. I did ride a few laps myself while I was there but at much more relaxed pace.
My last bike was a 1973 R75/5, after the kids came along it wasn't getting used so I Iet it go. Oh well, many happy memories!
