I used to enjoy watching him riding back in the mid 90's when I first managed to get satellite TV in Oman. The commentators were epic as well!.

sadly he went off the rails a bit, but he was a very talented rider indeed.

He gave Foggy a run for his money on a couple of occasions, almost beating his lap record at Philip Island in 95.

for anyone interested in how "anarchic" the WSB and other Championships actually were, here's an interesting read from Matt Oxley, who used to write in Performance Bikes Magazine.

@galenkia, you're gonna read this and then head out and buy an RG500 lol!!

Quite a poignant mention of the Wayne Rainey incident as well.
