    The Unrideables 500GP documentary

    Not sure if anyone here is a MotoGP fan, much less a late 80s GP fan, but this just got posted on youtube recently and I'd thought I'd let you guys know about it. Watch it before it gets pulled down.

            That was great, brings back some good memories of the road trips to watch at Laguna, could almost smell the 2 stroke racing fuel.

            Thanks for posting that link.

                  No mench of Rossi???

                  Valentino Rossi started riding MotoGP on the 500s.
                  I think he won his first world championship in 2001, before the switch to 4 stroke.
                  Did not see him in that film.
                  But yeah, I liked the movie, Thanks!

                    Rossi came on the scene almost 10 years after this era.
                    Mick Doohan was barely mentioned and he won 5 world championships before Rossi showed up.

                            Limited time...dropbox usually shuts me down if a file gets shared too often. I never have time to watch these when you guys put them up, so I download them.



                            It's a webm file...plays in Google Chrome for me. I don't know what else plays it.
