Life History/Philosophy: | Grew up in Switzerland watching Agostini and the boys. Loved watching the cafe racers tearing it up on the roads in the Alps. They used to close down a mountain road and do time trials from the bottom to the top. I remember the 'monkeys' on the side cars having many close encounters with the stone retaining walls on the curves, and more than one had the paint scraped off his helmet. |
