Hi Gzehoo.

I have to admit I'm not a big fan of music overlays on sports videos, I would rather have a vocal event report overlaid instead, or just the normal engine sounds, but that's probably just "old fuddy-duddy" me not keeping up with the younger generation. Lol 

But having said that it's a nice video with some good action shots. 

Well done mate!

I also think we lost one of the young ones which has been with us for a long time.......

Stout Johnson, he just will not race in an Oldschool race anymore. something like Old farts..blablabla
I respect his wishes, but i miss him during the races (no im not gay  ),

HAHA  thank you for your nice words Peter (and also John)! I very, very much enjoy racing with you guys too, really. But if I have the choice I prefer events with 4strokers (esp. the MotoGP). Quite honestly I despise the 2-strokes, I just don't like that engine characteristics and also the sound is a turn-off for me. I think if I would have grown up with 2strokers and watched MotoGP back in the days when it was all 2-strokers, maybe I would also love them today. So, I understand how you may like them, but me personally, I do not. Although I only have good memories for the old 500cc championship back with beta3 - that were some nice races and we had a lot of fun!  I hope we continue to meet at 4-stroker events in the future

Concerning your Monza event: It sure looks like it was a thrilling event and I especially like to see that John won, Peter finished a great 4th place (with only 2 crashes) and my teammate Warlock also a decent 6th. First 3 riders finished within 8s (2nd and 3rd almost equal), the first 8 riders were within 40s - so obviously a very thrilling race.

Im sorry Yohji, i will stick with Sunday evenings, Saturdays are slow days for GPBikes (peeps going out, getting drunk that kind of thing). Friday's i dont know really, but most of the time im too tired to even lift my hands or feet. 

So in short Oldschool will stay on Sunday evenings, unless there is a championship going on on that day

That is a good video Gzehoo, lots of good overtakes and how in hell Warlock saved that crossed up bike @ 0.46 is beyond me!

[Warlock]

Hahahaha, old fart style  .
Don't remember who i overtook there but he surely shit his pants lol!

[Gzehoo]

Last time I tested 1000cc bike on Monza and I saw that comparing with 500cc bike my best lap was almost the same.

Maybe in the future there would be one race with 500/1000 classes - like MotoGP season 2002.

It's not that I'm not 500cc fan - sometimes I'm more nervous during ride with 1000cc bike. But the confrontation e.g. Old School vs New Era could be interesting...

I think I'm correct in saying that during that initial phase of converting to the MotoGP era, the bikes were initially 800cc 4 strokes?? Also less power than they are today.

But I agree, it would make for an interesting event, and also I would suspect very popular as it would be attractive to both 2 and 4 stoke fans alike; but to be fair there would certainly have to be a modded 4 stroke bike with less power and also less tyre grip like they had in those days, like which the 500cc bikes have in GPB(less grip than the 4 stroke bikes), because for sure the current GPB 4 stroke 1000cc bikes are a good 2 - 3 secs faster than the 500cc bikes(in my opinion, but that's maybe because I'm a crap rider. Lol).

But yes, I'd be all for it Gzehoo... It would be a great event!
