Fast Freddie Spencer through woodcote corner silverstone 1981 riding the nr500 honda - awesome sight even in practice. Looked miles quicker than anyone else.
Schwantz, Rainey, Lawson, Mamola et al power sliding the glorious 500 2 strokes on glorious hot sunny days exiting Coppice corner, Donington.

Watching Joey D. in a two wheel drift at an increadibly wet tandragee across the start and finish line on that sodding great honda.

the movie, race for glory in which a few well known riders appeared was a classic, although they destroyed loads of road going rg/rd/ns's in the making.

it would have been nice to go to some of the smaller irish championship rounds and see dunlop etc on rs500s and rg500s, must have been scary stuff - a gp bike on those roads
