          Youtube has a WSBK channel by the name of WSBArchives, has highlights of all from 1992 season, a must see for a WSBK fan.

          Cheers
          Ha! yes i did.. that was indeed awesome... but but but.... do you remember the time Ben Bostrom (2001)was on a ducati and he just did the same thing that edwards did but got beaten in the end (troy of course)... i think that was the best season... oh and for some of the best races... remember one Mr. Anthony Gobert... hang on let me try finding the vids..

          this is why i loved watching SBK...

          star sports used to show the SBK magzine on mondays a special 1 hour show showing highlights of both races..the super sidecar, superstock etc. and steve martin used to take the stock bikes of all the manufacture and test it tru out the season... in the end he would decided the winner... oh i still remember when the new suzuki GSXR srad was introduced the first time.. i love growing up...

            Heck ya! I remember that season, saw it on youtube. Too bad Ben lost out but he gave us a wonderful season.

            Will see these videos soon (my netcon has crappy for the past couple of days).

            Used to love the tests, was it Stever Martin or Steve Parish? Who ever it was, lucky guy.

            Cheers

              Jake Zemke will replace hopper for this round. South Africa will be awesome. after years of being off from the international scene i am sure the capers will host an exciting event for both spectators and TV audience.

              rider profile for jake Zemke (americans love him like they did Hayden)

                hey suren... do you remember foggys last corner move on colin edwards ... eehhhh! ten years back i suppose... i forgot what track that was.. but foggy was .7 adrift with chilli tailgating.. untill the last bend.. where foggy gets that extra drive out of his ducati and beast edwards on the line... actually this was the race where they declared edwards the winner... but foggy only knew when he came into the park Furme...

                this was much better than that.... in a long time...
                Well some of us actually do follow WSBK as much as we can !! But I do not get ZeeSports thru my cable. So can't see it !!

                              • Poor, poor Big Ben. Feel really sad for him, but it was again a fantastic race. This makes the overall championship a li'l 'decided', with 80 points between the top two.

                                But FULL points to Kiyonari for holding up. He deserves this more than the dumb Roman who didn't have the brains to concede a place after that chicane ride through and ended up 20 secs late. Serves you well.

                                Fabrizio is a surprise package. I always likened him to be the crazy jerk without any meat after he pushed Neukirchner off in Assen. Anyway, good on him.

                                I can't wait for race 2. Should be tons of fun. R15 time for me :P
