Some of you have probably watched this already, but it's a pretty cool interview with Mike Healey by Sean Collier at Fasthouse. Very real & gritty. Mike has been down a dark path, but has come out of it and is living a clean life again. My hat is off to him. Lot of great GP stories.

Shame what he went through after his mx career stopped, but good to see him out the other side.

I will be watching every one.
Brooks ran out of fuel leading i figured from dust so thick you couldn't see the fender and hot as a 4 balled tomcat.
I recall guys running strings on filter covers like tampons and pulling them off mid moto.
He always had a very wild distinctive style; or so it seemed to me- especially when he was young- theres some great pictures circa 1980's on a load the NMA threads/ 'Bruce Bunch, Kyle Fleming, Rick Hemme' threads along with the other great young riders of that time....
In those pics, Mike always seemed to have the bike pinned, banked over about as far as it could be without crashing, foot out, on damn rails.
Think this kind of continued throughout his career somewhat, wild in many ways.
Its great to see he is doing good again, after 'falling somewhat down' and interesting to hear his viewpoints and stories
Always remember him and Bobby Moore- hard to forget and great memories watching them both along with the other guys who raced back then- (mainly in Europe for me).
Expect if Mike raced more in the US, rather than Europe, he may have have some very good U.S results also(not that his US results were bad!)
Think he in someways was abit like Magoo.
