Kevin, I saw it last night on Speedvision. After a relatively boring 250
GP race I considered turning it off, glad I didn't.
Kevin, you don't do this guy justice. McCoy was not only power sliding
every turn, but it was great to watch the transition as the back connected
up again, so that the end of the power slide was a wheelie. Pretty cool
if ya ask me.
Hmmmmmmm. Hey Rob Chapman, who else are you Aussies hiding down there?
Seems like there's a history of people coming out of "nowhere" from the
land of Oz (Troy Corser, fer instance). Anyone I should be signing? :)

P.S. Damn, 27 years old!! That's like a geriatric entry into the world
of FIM racing!
