Forgot how he could make that Suzuki look like a ballet.
Great rider, elegance on and off the track.

Cool film, thanks!  :cool:

I didn't know that he was a diabetic OR a pre-med student.

He certainly was fast, though!

Interesting that fellow Suzi rider Kevin Schwantz also rode as #34.

Great vid, thanks.
