oh yes the coolest man ever in F1

With the one of the blokes that rivals Vale as the coolest bike racer ever.

the coolest man in Motorbike GPs (without question)

This guy was quite cool too.

Yer man.............quoted as saying 'the best thing about being the factory Honda team, was the free smokes', when they were Rothmans obviously!

Also from reading his biography, apprently he used to drive the factory mechanics nuts, by giving parts to people in the paddock when they had broken down, and helping them fit them, top bloke!
