Same here. In fact if I'm totally honest, one of the reasons I got an AR125 as cheap student transport way back when was that I couldn't afford a car and the chap I had my eye on rode an RD350. Obviously he didn't look twice at me, but once I had my bike I had no reason to fancy him any more... Racers I like(d): Kevin Schwantz, Mick Doohan, Vale Rossi, Colin Edwards, Joey Dunlop, Dave Jefferies, Chris Walker, John Reynolds, James Toseland, Leon Haslam but can't say any of them influence me. Like I could ride like any of them...????
