No problem. Have you ever seen the Faster documentaries? There's some pretty good footage from that era on those as well. You can really see the difference between the old 500 2-strokes and the new 800 4-strokes. Those old machines really were borderline out of control. Awesome stuff!

nothing like the smell of bean oil in the afternoon air, never thought that a year later I would be sitting in a GP motor home drinking beers with them and the other hero's of my life <VBG>
