Ron is the master race tactician. What he dosn't knows about bikes isn't worth knowing. Setting up a bike is second nature. This rider, in his day, could be at the back of a pack and plan his route through to the front with uncanny precision.

Looks like his namesake is as adept on the pitch, that Strong Arm will allow Rocket Ron to hang back until just the right time...

Max Biaggi. Mardy little git, always crying that he hasn't got the parts, his machine's not up to spec, everyone's got better kit...Well Max, you had a V5 this year, did you beat Rossi? Did you heck as like, you moaning poof. Waited for a long time for Max to get the extra spp, 'coz no-one on the team deserves DP more than this tosser (and every team should have 1 DP). Finally a skill to match the personality, I hope you never get used, but now you are complete. Hopefully you might get block in the not-too-distant, and be somewhat useful you slacking, talentless get.

The real McCoy at rear-wheel slides and backing into corners. The sight of the little bugger lighting up the rear tyre is amazing, and when he's on a charge and stepping the back out farther than should be possible is a lesson in agility and confidence in one's own ability.

The first incarnation of Garry rolled +AG on the first roll. It was without doubt the most appropriate roll on the team so far. Suppleness and finesse are Garry's traits, enhanced perfectly with the stat increase. Let's hope G.McCoy 2 can repeat this.

Alex started out yer average biker, with average talents. He must have been shagging someone's daughter, beacuase all of a sudden he's right up there with the big boys. Factory ride for the biggest team, Honda. And doesn't do much.

He's playing with the big boys now (or should that be Big Guys?), but seems to be the same as the other BoB's, not rising above the mundane.

Did well on a 2nd string Ducati in WSB, then dominated on the factory 999. Crap year in his rookie MotoGP year 2004, he's buggering of to claim the 2005 American Super Bikes Championship, making him potentially the first bloke to ever win British, American and World Superbike Championships. Good luck, but you wanna piss off to the states? Good riddance. Last time i'll cheer you on ya faggot. I'm for Jamie Toseland now, screw you tosser.

Simply the best. By a long way. True motorcycling genius, raw talent mixed with awesome ability. What else to say, he's utterly superb on 2 wheels. And he tried a Ferrari F1 car, and was just 2 secs behing Schumacher on his 1st day. The bugger's a God!

An amiable aussie, Troy dominated WSB on the Ducati 998, and had a superb battle with Colin Edwards the following year, including coming off his bike twice in one race, in the rain, and still finishing. Lovely bloke, great, smooth rider, loved by the paddock. Not shone in MotoGP this last year, but a return to WSB would see him fighting for a World title once more.

Probably the most successful English biker in the last decade. Excelling at World Superbikes on Ducati's, he claimed the title 4 times. Created the British Army, a loyal posse who turn the Assen round into a near home venue. Focus is defined by this guy's eyes. Now started his own WSB team, FoggyPetronas, having retired from riding, he should have a team and riders to compete for podiums in 2005.

Info:
Fastest man ever around the TT course, on which he died. Big Yorkshireman, friendly bloke, fast as f**k.

Fluff:

Honoured to be renamed after DJ, this Orc became a lover of all pies in memory of his fallen idol. Steak & Kidney was top of the list, followed by Carrot & Gobbo, Liver of Beastman and, my personal favourite, Heart of Woodie. Whilst all tasty, these have left DJ a little on the porky side, and he's a bit too large in the girth to be pushed around...

Having finally won an MVP for tying up a few dwarves for a drive to win a game, DJ was thrilled to get Block, This came at the expense of an aging niggle. BUT...help was on hand as Christer had given us 2 days aging amnesty, and the big Yorkshireman regained full mobility and celebrated with a large Fling pie, with extra gravy.

The Godfather of modern British biking. A true Legend, known all over the world, he rode hard, he drank hard, he womanised even harder...What a Hero. His loss to cancer is a tragedy, and robs the world of a genuine Biker God.

TT Legend. Most famous Road Racer (that's racing, 180+mph on NORMAL roads!!!) ever, successful in TT's on the Ilse Of Man over decades. Tragically lost when he crashed into a tree in an Estonian race.

Joey, you are sorely missed. God bless you, and may you teach me a few tricks on those dry, sunny, quiet roads in biking heaven.

One of the bravest. One of the fastest. Lapped Donington faster on a modified road bike (British Super Bike) than Rossi did on a Grand Prix bike. TT legend. Sadly lost in a private helicopter crash. He liked flying, got him home quicker. RIP Hissy, we miss you. You were tops dude.

Orig Steve Hislop: Retired from a niggle.

Like his dad, Leon is a natural. His flow and timing are impressive, yet he differs slightly from his pater with a slight agressiveness to his riding style. Banging elbows at 140mph doesn't scare this youngster, as he fights to the front.

Gaining Block early for Leon will give him a little more confidence to mix it up in the ruck, in the hopes of being ready to pounce should the opportunity arise.

Second skill, as his talent matures, shows he really is his Father's son. Strong Arm, running in the family, shows the potential this talented young lad has.

Spaniard, pretty bloody fast on his day. Now lives in Yorkshire...best county in England...not that i was born and bred a Tyke...no sirree...lol.

Some would say the Daddy. The original Brit biker superstar, he reigned supreme, and still holds a special place in the hearts of most bikers around the world.

John Reynolds, British Superbike Champion, all-round nice guy and bloody tiny! At 5'6" he's no giant, and you have to wonder how his little feet touch the floor on that great big Suzuki GSX-R1000 :-)
