Any bike fans on here?
There is a plethora of people out there on the web and in forums with touring car and F1 races which they have taped and are willing to share etc.... (whether it be through torrents, or other means etc...), but is there any bike fans out there who did the same for the likes of the 500cc World Championship.
I'm especially interested in the late-80s/early 90s-mid 90s period of the sport, and would love to get a copy of some of the races (proper TV coverage, the narrative stuff from Duke doesn't really do it justice in my opinion)
As far as i know the first race shown live on Australian TV was the 1986 San Marino GP on SBS, with SBS again showing the 1988 500cc World Championship live with commentary from Will Hagon.
From what i can gather SBS showed the early rounds of the 1988 World Championship, before Channel 9 took over the rights at some point early in the season, holding the rights through to the end of 1996.
Any help appreciated :)
