    Interesting stories. Surprised Mick took the problems of the NR 500 so well. The press took the piss out of that bike, called it the Never Ready, Honda eventually gave up and went GP racing with a two stroke. Nice to hear Mick speak good of Phil Read, both great racers.

      Didn’t the press also coin NR as Nearly Round? 😁

    Kawasaki's are green Wow "I'll take How to loose a Million Dollars Alex" 😧Funny story, back in 1984 they came out with the KLR600 and it was white, the next year I purchased one but then they were only available in green. So I asked the dealer if you can order the 1984 bodywork so I had the only 1985 White KLR600 that became my commuter bike to work and I changed the front wheel to a 19 inch rim so I could use street tires and also get my road racing race license 😁 Had that bike until I moved to a place so far from work I needed to drive on the highway (motorway) and the KLR was not fast enough to keep up traffic 😕

    Congratulations DARKWULFOFODIN you got the answer right! It was DUNLOP that Mick went testing for 😁 Two tickets to Motorcycle Live are yours!
    Seeing as though only two people got it right, CRAIG gets a pair of tickets, too as it's only fair 😊
    Have a great time, fellas!

      We had breakfast with JR at CotA and he'll happily do a show with us, it's just nailing him down because he's so busy. He was on great form and is busy with his MotoGeo brand. We'll keep trying, Sean 🙏🏼
