Title: name this rippa
Post by: bearorso on February 19, 2013, 11:05:57 AM: I don't think a multi time World Champion is obscure : Gennady (sp?) Moisseev

And, as RacerX has corrected (research / revision seemed to be needed), certainly not DeCoster - Sylvain Geboers - who, ironically IS also in the many years later picture with Joel, and Roger. Gaston, was a hell of a bloke.
Title: name this rippa
Post by: 2T Institute on February 19, 2013, 11:25:49 AM: Correct but I'll have to deduct half a point for not mentioning Moissev was forbiden to ride KTM's and was only allowed to ride CZ's and Jawa's. Another Russian rider Vicktor Arbeckov defeated Joel Robert at the height of his powers. I'll have to check if Martijn Stehouwer has finished his blog on racing behind the Iron Curtain, concentrates on road racing but some very interesting stories.

No points for guessing who and where but how did the dent get in the pipe?
Title: name this rippa
Post by: MikeD94 on February 19, 2013, 05:10:28 PM: DeCoster paid Hannah back for his dirty move on The Man a turn or few prior.

Title: name this rippa
Post by: 2T Institute on February 20, 2013, 05:43:38 AM: Correct MikeD think DeCoster had the wood on Hurricane after that, lucky he had those throwaway plastic boots

Yes the Russians did do the dirty on Jaroslav, but according to Brad Lackey another countries spectators did the same thing, yes when and where ? Part B is what did Bad Brad use which is the first use(what I can find) of a now universal component in what year?

Post by: 2T Institute on February 20, 2013, 05:47:19 AM: Who was the first to utilise monoshock rear suspension in mx ?
Title: name this rippa
Post by: _X_ on February 20, 2013, 10:51:58 AM: well ol brad was fighting with vromans for the championship in 82 and i believe in namur the spectators were giving him a hard time,he also had to wait to pass vromans in the wanning laps at the last gp luxemburg(?) because it proximity to belguim. he used the upside down simons forks to which the japanese threw a fit. the first mono shocker i believe was ktm.
Title: name this rippa
Post by: 2T Institute on February 20, 2013, 12:44:19 PM: Yes Brad did say at Namur the spectators were rabid with the fence moving. Correct with the Simons UDX40's. The first monoshock was a 1969 CZ380(the orange frame might have thrown you)tested by Gebors and De Coster after which it was offered to Suzuki

What the hell have you been drinking?

GM Won his World Championships on KTMs.

It was only after he had done so, that the Politburo decided he had to try to win on a CZ.

And there, went a glorious career.........

Oh, by the way, there is now a 'push' on for a GP to return to Namur - by the city itself. Though, the very lowest part of the track, has now a street with modern houses on the lower side - where you'd see the riders turn right, with a hay bailed / wood wall protected stone wall of the fortress, often used as a berm.

I was lucky enough to get to races at Namur a few times - the last being 2006. On the way back down to Switzerland after last years MX Des Nations, we made the effort to go down to Namur, and check things out. There is now a childcare centre just past the ornamental bridge they went under, and jogged to the left, just about right where the fence for the Kindergarten is now. So, what's another thing to slam into at full throttle, at Namur............

Somehow, I think Luongo will find a way to veto a GP there, or, some modern riders and teams will not want to go. As much as I love the place, it's bloody dangerous - like the IOM TT , or Irish Real Roads Racing, is to Moto GP. Perhaps, we might see a GP there, or just a dirty great big "International" Race, just after the GP season and MX Des Nations.

Complete and utter BS.

He rode KTMs to his World Championships.

Learn a bit more about our sport than you think you know - don't put out incorrect information like "for one GP KTM lent him a bike". Absolutely wrong.

Post by: SachsGS on February 21, 2013, 03:04:39 PM: I can't recall the make but I remember looking at a British street bike from the 50's (maybe older) that had monoshock rear suspension. Honda 50 Minitrails had inverted front forks WAY before Bad Brad's bike.
