    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Best Rider Ever: Hailwood? Ago? Rossi?...

Freddy Spencer had superior equipment as Honda was spending a ton of money for the PR end of it. He was of course, one of the all time best, but on equal bikes Kenny was invincible.

Not really true, Spencer's Honda was more agile but Robert's bike had better acceleration and top speed. Which was better depended on the track.

Honda has always spent more money, that hasn't always translated to a better bike. The 84 Honda was a pile of monkey dung.
 
More importantly, the Honda was way easier to push start and Roberts was often far behind by the 1st corner. The OW he rode was the pig at that time, costing him the 80,81 & 82 titles. The 83 OW was better, but Freddie beat him by two points. But Freddie only excelled on pavement

Agostini doubled in 350/500 5 times, offset by his bike being superior many of those years. He also beat the Hondas with Hailwood for years

Greatest?

All around - Roberts , Mann

Pavement = Roberts, Ago, Surtees (he won the GP title also), Rainey, Bill Ivy, Barry Sheene

Motocross - Joel Robert, by far the greatest
