thousands of videos of the actual eclipse exist. why post another one? I wanted to capture what it was like to view it. the excitement and utter bewilderment of the humans who experienced it. "lol"
I watched Kenny when he came over for the Transatlantic Team event in the UK in the 70's. Lol, the UK riders thought that if it rained (it often does in England) they would have an advantage because they road race in wet in the UK and at the time that wasn't the case in America. Hmm. Didn't quite figure the sort of practice the Americans had doing this sort of stuff and how it prepared them for racing in the wet. Watching Dave Aldana and Kenny Roberts coming out of the Esses at Mallory park in the wet sideways and staying that way because they had the throttle pinned was something else to see. Great stuff. :)
Thank you for sharing this view of that. It was difficult to see the speed he carried thru the corners from the grandstands view. Hard to imagine he hadn't been on a bike like that for years and on a dirt mile and still run that hard. Awesome freak n bike. AMA should have had a two stroke class back then when they were being manufactured. Wonder how many are still running and how bad one in good condition would break a bank account if you could find one for sale.
Took a sports car racing friend to the Indy mile a few years before this and we were in the infield down between 3 and 4, completely blew his mind! Ricky Graham won on the Honda (yes!) and put on a show, along with all the others. Miles and TT were the best races for me; Indy, Springfield, DuQuoin, Santa Fe and Peoria.
I have been trying to find out how to properly pronounce Hakidomuya but cannot find anywhere online where they allow you to hear it spoken like most other names and words. Can you please post something of you saying the name Hakidomuya? I am currently looking for baby names and I like the meaning. I picture it as being pronounced Ha-Kee-doe-Moo-yah. Please let me know if that is close.
madison williams sorry I don't know for sure, but I believe the word it's written semantically from the original Hopi. so if you read it as written it's probably close: haki don mooya
He's off the groove because that's where the traction was for that bike. It had too much power. I'm sure it was banned because HD couldn't compete with that kind of technology.
