Message: [QUOTE="Anssi, post: 141731, member: 23342"] Incidentally, Juha Salminen belongs to the same club as I do, and I occasionally see him practise on the local tracks. I have never seen anybody that much in control of a motorcycle, and I have seen some riders, including Eric Geboers and Georges Jobe in their heyday on the CR500 in Ruskeasanta, possibly the best track in the World for 500cc bikes. If you happen to get passed by Salminen out of a turn, you may kinda hang with him as long as you are both WFO, but when you hit your braking spot, he just keeps going like there was nothing but straight track ahead. PS. Salminen just finished 12th in the 250 [B]MX[/B] GP in Belgium, and that was no fluke. BTW, he was also the Finnish trials champion earlier, and is still one of the top ones when he chooses to compete. [/QUOTE]
