Any of the fast West Indian bowlers. Michael Holding, Andy Roberts, Big Bird, Curtly etc. Always wanted to bowl like them. The fact that I wasn't black & 6'6" didn't stop me!

Steve Gall... Mr Mx for years...
Got to know him through the bike club St George, and what a real normal humble guy he is. He raced world wide, but you'd never know it, very humble.

I also got many go fast bits off him over the years that nobody else in AU had access to :D
My TT600 became a 720 with twin carbs, different head with valves that looked like they were off a Caterpillar truck, barrel, exhaust, ...  :cup: :cup:

Cricket
Same as NickandBron - the West Indies and Aussie cricket teams of the 70's... Nothing has come close since in Cricket, but now cricket is just a corrupt farce like wogball.

AFL
Bruce Doull - the flying Doormat.. cause some chick came out and flashed her cans at him live on tele!

NRL
Too many to list.

The man in the yellow car, stormin Norman.

Having seen both these cars in action in the 60s and early 70s today's, nothing compares today.

Can't beat the old school bathurst 5000, Wellington st races with the mustangs, bmw, cos worth sierras and god Zillah Nissan gos.
Proper cars and real races not this pretentious crap now days by manufacturers that realy care so little about it that Mercedes and Nissan got invited to play so that when the 2 "true blue" companies split there's still someone driving round the track
