A few street dudes, not all are nice guys, but they made my motorcycle watching experience.

Rossi
Lawson
King Kenny
Hannah
Stewart (haters, eat dog shit)
Bradshaw
Guy Cooper (saw him at my 1st SX in Tampa in 1989, dude was part astronaut)
JMB
Magoo
Stoner (nice wife too)
RJ ( remember him as a teenager in Superbikers, he was BAD ASS!) I miss Superbikers, got to watch bikes about twice a year back then, Superbikers and Saddleback. Thanks ABC).
Ross Pederson (three classes a day at Riverglade, 125, 250, and 500, two motos each. He waved bye-bye). Forking animal.
Can't forget Evel.

Honorable mention to RC and JMcG, but except for RC's battles with Stewart, he made it look to easy. Also Dusty Klatt up here, pretty to watch.

Any you feel blessed to have watched on TV or in person?

From the beggining
Richter-local, fastest pro influence
RD-Livermore moiving up from the pack, clearly fastest man on the planet and then snaps bike in half at warp speed
Shu -beastly animal bullying our world's best at Sears
Magoo -likewise as Shu, but leaving not only his competitors but us on the fence with a certain fear
Bradshaw - not just another beast
Reynard- not a beast at all, but bookoo talent
RC-the return of the beast
Stew, more of that bookoo talent than I've ever witnessed
RV - another beast, and one that came from much the same roots as his Uncle that was first on my list of enjoyment.

Saw in person all those guys and then some.

BAD BRAD
ROGER D
JOEL ROBERT
ADOLF WEIL
DICK MANN


The baddest of the bad had to be Robert or Tripes.
When Tripes was on Hannah could not hold a candle to him.

As for Robert ...he was absolute flawless and so smooth it was crazy.

No MC? Wow. How MC and RC are not on that list is way off base. Both of those guys schooled everyone they faced. I saw both race in person, and although MC carved up the competition like a surgeon, RC was an absolute beast on a bike, and the way he'd push himself and his bike beyond what anyone would attempt was sometimes frightening.

I use to love the 500 GPs before they went all F-1, so I can respect the Rossi Lawson and king Kenny picks, but how can you not have enjoyed Shwantz and Doohan? They brought major excitment to that class.

Bob Hannah, Guy Cooper, Rick Johnson, Jeremy McGrath, Ricky Carmichael, James Stewart, Justin Barcia

I like my racers with flashy, bigger-than-life style.

I forgot K-Dub. Definitely one of the most fluid, accurate riders on a bike.

Without Carmichael or McGrath this list is worthless.

I'm surprised no one said Ricky Graham. Have only read, never seen.
