This brings back so many incredible memories. To see Thorpe and Noyce together againβ¦. Iβm sure Eric and Andre were smiling down on them. NO REGRETSπ
Legend great to see Dave Thorpe still excited opening her up that hill
Dave Thorpe and Graeme Noyce..... And Andre Malherbe's race bike Only on Lazer 999 π Cheers Max ππ
the sound of that bike is like no other 500, truly a special moment, very glad I got to be there for it, keep the great vids coming dude
When I was 15\16 yr old lad, DT was a Hero of mine. Great seeing him riding that 500 again! π
I saw Thorpe, Malherbe and Geboers in Vimmerby 86, they where a great team this three world champions. Nice video Max!
I bet it was pure goosebumps seeing this motocross legends on the track. " Iconic noise ". Very true.
Had the pleasure MXdN 1985 and 1989 with a lot of works bike with a lot HRC stuff. One year, 1985, Dave had these gold blue YOKO pants. Had MDS helmet and couldn't get the Oakley that time and bought the Scott AndrΓ© had. Of course I had white-blue AXO's! So happy and thankful to be on my 10/20thiest those days. Thank you all!
I feel really lucky to have seen the GPβs back in the late 80s early 90s watching DT rip, actually had the pleasure of being on the same practice track made you realise slow you actually were π
Well that's just done it for me. Remember as a kid watching Thorpey at Cuerden. Now gone to m65 :( I'm 60 next year I'm definitely getting that enduro now π
Dave was one of my heroes back in the day
Oh man, that must have been such a memory flashback. Freaking awesome ππͺπ
Fantastic video max thank you DT is a gentleman ππ
WOW - all I can say !!!!! Thorpe , Noyce etc - the euro hero's of our time !!!! Hard to believe it has been 40 years and thank's for the internet and Capt 999laser we are able to relive this time again !!! I remember meeting Danny Chandler in 1983 at Millville MN aka "spring creek " it was the highlite of my mx time as Magoo is my favorite rider , he hands down beat the compition that day in the 500 class on his Honda - I was very excited when Danny went to race the 500cc world championships on his KTM 500 , he won the French GP that year and had a bad crash where I believe the rear shock broke and he sat out a few rounds but did finish 3rd in the series I believe ??? Sorry to ramble on but this video brings back memorys , I raced the 500 class in 83/84 on a can-am mx 500 and in 85 my father bought me the ever so potent 85 Honda cr500 - and I raced it for a couple years and then switched to a KX 500 - man those were the days !!!!! The honda's in your video are simply amazing and what a treat to start out friday with !!!! Thank you 999lazer π
All I can say is Thank You for sharing this with the world of MX.
I saw Andre Malherbe ride at Carlsbad, and you could almost see through his helmet his ear-to-ear grin as he came around on the first lap of the first moto. Legends of the 80s.
Bloody hell I was there in 1985 I feel so old now ha ha ha π at 58 !!!
What an amazing time to be a fan of motocross β€
