I remember meeting several of the riders. But my most memorable was meeting Pat Hennen when he worked at United Airlines. The IOM accident really screwed him up. But his eyes and face lit up for a brief time when he would talk about his racing career “ back in the day “. What a wonderful man!! RIP Pat.

not a bad list but you must remember that Barry Sheene always had the best bike, the best of the full works specials at a time when the Suzuki was dominant, he was a great rider but much like valentino Rossi always had the best of the best when other riders got similar equipment he was beatable and so left for Yamaha, i remember John Williams being given his bikes for an end of season meeting and despite never having sat on the machine before broke the lap record and won by a mile.
Before watching the video, I figured out my own list, and I only missed Jack Mildelburg (I thought he was only w Yamaha), and I forgot Randy. The rest, I remembered
@@pabloperez4063 Hola Pablo. I live on the Isle of Man and witnessed the 78 TT race during which Pat crashed. He received bad head injuries which left him brain damaged and wheelchair bound. He did return to the IOM years later as a spectator. It was great to see him again and he was able to communicate to a reasonable degree. It was very unfortunate and sad that his career was cut short when he had such enormous potential.
As I wrote in the description of the video " We have considered, in the statistics, only the races held with Suzuki RG500 or RG Gamma 500. In this ranking there are no riders who have raced with Suzuki RGV, so there isn't the legendary Kevin Schwantz." Kevin raced with a RG Gamma 500 only 3 races (2 points) in 1986.
Thanks for your comment. You're right, Williams and Rossi were great riders, even John Newbold, Findlay, Baker or "Croz" Crosby. But you know, I had to choose only ten.... Please leave a comment with your Top10, just for an interesting debate 😀👍👋

Pat was a great champion who I was lucky enough to see in action, but who unfortunately I never spoke to 😢😢👋👋

That’s very interesting! Good video! We need more TOP10 👍🏻😁

Thanks for your comment John. As I told in another comment, Williams was a great rider with RG 500.
The same as Agostini had the best (with more difference), or Angel Nieto the best 125 cc, or Spencer the best NSR.... Anything new???

Thanks for your comment! Lucky you...You saw the great era of two stroke 🤙😉 "Jumping" Jack Middelburg raced with Suzuki, Yamaha and Honda
What a pity that silencing was introduced in 77. The 76 RG was the best sounding bike of all time. Even better than the Honda 6.
Thanks for your comment. You're totally right, so don't miss this beautiful sound without silencers 😱😁

Thanks for this video. ¡Baz was the GOAT!
Thanks for your comment! 👋😀
Glad to see Pat Hennen in the list. What a superstar. He would have gone on to greater things if it were not for that very unfortunate TT accident.
Thanks so much for your comment. Yes, Pat Hennen was a great and unlucky rider. He was in the running to win the 1978 World Championship title...
He disappeared from the planet, and... Didn't he try to come back in the next years...? He was still young, and very talented

@@petersayle2089 Pat is not in a wheel chair . last I heard he had retired as a mechanic for United Airlines.
@@pabloperez4063 no
I am Surprised Kevin Schwantz are not in that List.
He was One Time World Champion but Drove Years for Suzuki, very Successful.

This is really a screwed up sound track, it reduces the whole video.
Turning off the overbearing music made the video much better.
Thanks for your suggestion
There were a lot more....., John Williams f.e. or Graziano Rossi....!

Steve Baker, Tom Herron and John Newbold !
@@petersayle2089 Yes, Tom Herron too...
