I remember watching and recording it on a Video 2000 machine! It was on either Grandstand or World of Sport (Dickie Davies). Replayed it many times. I was 16yo and was racing a CR125. The only way you could follow him winning the World Championship was by getting Trials and Motocross News at the end of the week! Unless you lived through this, it would be impossible to appreciate how special that bike was and how good a rider Dave Thorpe was.

@warrenhoare2852

This brings back so many incredible memories. To see Thorpe and Noyce together again…. I’m sure Eric and Andre were smiling down on them. NO REGRETSπŸ‘

@BatFastard01

When I was 15\16 yr old lad, DT was a Hero of mine. Great seeing him riding that 500 again! πŸ‘

@franciscolopez3229

I bet it was pure goosebumps seeing this motocross legends on the track. " Iconic noise ". Very true.

@bertbroeder1832

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!

@DavidPike-uf4ep

I feel really lucky to have seen the GP’s 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 πŸ˜‚

@davidgreen1337

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 😊

@ragnarironspear1791

@mikehudgens7007

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 🏁

@bsmith4u2

All I can say is Thank You for sharing this with the world of MX.

@jjg7696

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.

@John-y3s
