Hmmm... been watching old WSB like 1993 onwards and some of the races were awesome but a fair few were utter tripe. When Fogarty won he tended to gap people big time and in general the field go spread out worse than does today.
Found a case full of DVDs which are conversions of Duke VHS tapes I made. Got all sorts of shit in there like Biaggi years 250s and random stuff like 1994 and 1999 500 reviews.

Ha. Imagine if after every good race, you said 'I'm taping that'. You'd have a brilliant collection to wade through now. I bet most would be 125s though.

Just watching 1995 250cc review. Boring as fuck. Race for the lead isn't even a race most of the time. JMB did pretty well though considering his background.

Watched the 2014 season review last night and forgot how the team politics kicked in last couple of rounds. First Marco ignored team orders to let Guintoli through then Baz did the same at the last round denying Sykes the title in the process. I’ve never been a fan of team orders but i bet the Kawasaki camp was quiet that night.

I'm no fan of team orders either but they really dropped the ball that round.

What is most shocking about this is I had already forgotten who won in 2014! Guinters.
Oddly Sykes's funnier 1/2 point loss 2012 season isn't avaible for some 'contractual' reason. Can't even find a foreign dvd of it so isn't just Duke that didn't publish it.
Finished the 1995 250s and it didn't get any better. Kenny Roberts Jr was shite and JMB just crashed most races. Biaggi could wheelie like a bastard though.
May go for 1994 500cc or 1996 WSB today. Or may go cars and watch some Jim Clark.

Jim Clark was awesome in grand prix obviously but he was also a sight to behold in the old mk 1 Cortina cornering with the front inside wheel airborne.

May go for 1994 500cc or 1996 WSB today. abe upsetting the regulars at suzuka or gobert reversing it into the melbourne loop. not a bad day that. 1996 to 2000 were the best wsbk years i feel. i've got so many old duke vids with nothing to play them on. |

Just buy one of those old VHS to DVD machines, rip and then sell. You'll probably not lose any money.
