Any of you old guys remember this race??
Found this recently during the "Was Colin any good'? and "Is an SP2 a good track bike" discussion and as I remember watching this one I though it showed both points rather well.......
That and it is almost racing season once again

Yes I remember that one twas a cracker indeed !
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...
Re: Any of you old guys remember this race??
Oh, I remember..
And in answer to the other questions... He was good, and still is... I bet on equal machines, he'd beat anyone posting on-line hands down, and a few of the young ones in MotoGP too...
And, the SP2 makes a very fine race bike once it's put a wee diet...

Re: Any of you old guys remember this race??
That was a great Race. I would have loved Colin to win a MotoGP race and he nearly did but fell of at the last bend. He has always had a uniquely identifiable riding stance and has always been good to watch. A true bike nut and top bloke. He went to Daytona bike week when we were there wearing a hat with hairpiece pony tail, you could tell it was him by the way he spoke though.
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

Probably one of the best WSB races of all time. I agree Colin Edwards can match anyone on the same machine. He's an all round Mr Nice Guy who thoroughly enjoys his job.

Thanks for reppsotingthat tweety. It must rate as one of the best races of all time and anyone who missed it is in for a treat.
After that season Colin could do no wrong in my eyes, he will always be one of the real men of racing...and a true gent
