    Isle of Man TT was and is a favorite of mine...

    Joey Dunlop was the man to watch back in the 90's when my cousin and I would watch every year.

    There were so many guys there that you would have never known about or ever seen ride. The real road conditions were and are insane. Seeing them go through some of the turns through the towns and the transitions from crappy and bumpy asphalt to the back roads that are off camber with BIG trees lining the way lol .,... CRAZY race !

    Watching Valencia right now. I love Pedrosa's 1960's Repsol colors. I won't post any spoilers, especially since I don't even know what happened yet, except the obvious Rossi is the 2008 World Champ!!

    Hi guys!

    I've been looking for videos of the great Eddy Lawson,and his races now,for years!

    I'm familiar with torrents,and would love to find some videos for downloading.
    I've even looked to purchase videos,with no luck though.

    I've been riding a Kawasaki KZ for almost 20 years now.I bought it the year my Son was born,and I've been modifying it ever since.(77 KZ1000).

    I would really appreciate any help with the video links.
    I'm interested in any and ALL of his races.

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Please P.M. me anytime.

    I'd try some motorcycle stores. We have Cycle Gear, Scuderia, and Munroe Motors here in San Francisco. They each carry videos. Not sure what kind of old race videos they have though. You might want to give them a call and ask. Not sure what part of the world you're in, but I found this site:
    https://www.dukevideo.com/Bikes.aspx...er=asc&page=25

    Might be able to get them to ship to the States if that's where you are.

    That's cool you've still got your KZ. There's a pretty good following of 70's Japanese sport bikes here in the city. I park near a KZ daily that is modded to look like a drag bike, but tastefully. Stretched swing-arm, open K&N air filters, etc. It looks pretty awesome I've got to say.

    Joey Dunlop, Robert Dunlop are local heroes here in Northern Ireland.

    And I swear I am not being biased but if you're into your motorbike racing at all. The NW200 (Northwest 200) is by far the best road bike race there is.

    It is simply a 'must do' experience to come over here to Northern Ireland and watch it by the roadside a mere few yards away from a bike travelling at 180mph+.

    Immense.

    If any of you guys want any more infos on the NW200, just drop me a pm. I have a few contacts who could get you into the pits and to meet the riders etc.

    WOW! if i could afford the trip i would be there in a heartbeat. i always watch the Isle of Man TT when i can get the coverage or find a download. i am going to try to find a downlaod for the NW200 and check it out. unfortunately motorcycle racing coverage is really crappy here so downloading is my only option.
