1979 Superbikers at Laguna Seca
|
Freddie Spencer, Wes Cooley and Eddie Lawson battle it out round Laguna,
a great classic clip with onboard video footage.
|
Also thank you - thrilling.
|
They ought to bring it back
|
They ought to just turn the clock back to 79.

That does beg the question of what sort of racing class would possibly
give the same thrill. It wuld have to be big naked retro bikes: Bandit,
CB1000/1300, ZRX1200/1300, XJR1200/1300.
|
They have a class like this in Japan
|
Imagine the carnage :-))
|
|
|
|
Wow! That's great!
|
It's the slo-mo shot of Dave Aldana (109), on the left-hander, near the
end of the film that sums it up for me. Look at that overpowered relic
he's riding weave and wobble.
|
Reminds me of my Zephyr.
Wish I could ride it like Mr Aldana.
|
|
That was my favorite bit too. Reminded me of my KZ750E2 with shagged
needle bearings in the swingarm. (Genuflects to H. McK)
