I see your purple Dainese leathers, Rick, and raise you purple Dainese leathers with a matching purple helmet!! I have the same model Gaerne boots as you, but mine were red....

This is 1999, on my '98 Blade at Oran Park.

That's quite the '90s getup, Marshy.... Did you have a matching shell suit?

Look at those old school riding positions!!!

Just noticed your front folding.

Did it end it tears after? Or is it just an optical illusion?

Noticed that as well. Might be on the way back up? Might explain where the knee is...

Nope, that's just the lean angle the bike was capable of - the dunlop fronts were that good way back then too! I love this pic, because it shows how rubbish my style was (and still is!!) on right handers. On the left, I was knee-down everywhere, but on rights I was ALWAYS like this - right knee hard against the tank. I still today have major trouble touching my right knee down. I am forever swapping worn knee sliders from the left to the right, and untouched ones from the right to the left!!!!
