Imagine trying to run and bump with a broken back and ruptured spleen with oil on your gloves from a bad clutch seal and you still win a world championship. King Kenny indeed
KR was my hero before he ever came racing in Europe. I remember going to the Transatlantic Trophy and one year at Mallory Park it snowed on Easter Sunday. I always supported the Americans (that is very rare in my life). It was brilliant. As always the Brits were hoping for rain on the basis that the Americans never road raced in the wet. Big Lol, they we going round and the snow started, The Brits were coming into the pits with both legs down. The Americans however just seemed to go into dirt track mode. Seeing Kenny sideways around the long Gerards bend was absolutely superb.
The best rider of the 20th Century. No one can even imagine how fast he was because only he could do it. He showed the world how an American flat track style of sliding the wheels around worked on road racing tracks. It freaked out the European riders when he went over there and smoked them several times. They thought he was nuts, and maybe he was but he was the right kind of nut for this game.
I guess im randomly asking but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
he is your favorite,mine was barry sheene but ago,rossi mike halewood ,doohan,foggerty,rainy,lawson,and many orhers could hold claim to the greatest,i guess its all about there being legends a plenty
@@frozenice61 The thing that sets kenny apart from the other great riders you listed was that he also excelled on dirt. Despite having to constantly ride under performing Yamahas against the Triumphs and Harleys of the day, he won and was head and shoulders better then the rest of the American dirt track riders.
Thanks that was a nice compilation...i was just typing a shout out to the kids how are they both doing kurtis an kenny jr...an my illustriatrous phone alerted me to the relationship i have with my dad is the same...he 84 now an i had 12 years of him being calm in my life...hes still sponky but he dont go WWF on the rest of the family any more....peace to all....
Back then he had to ride on three different motorcycle types to win the #1 Plate. In fact, AMA Grand National Championship consisted of 5 different racing disciplines: mile ovals, half miles, short tracks, TTs and road races.
That must have been amazing. I was born in 84 but grew up watching OnAnySunday pretty much every day of my childhood. Speedway is also awesome to watch. What do u think about that? Do u enjoy all that the flat oval has to offer? Looking forward to your opinion! Have a happy holiday season and if you are a veteran my hat is off to you sir or mam. Thank you for your service.
@@brandonsayer7631 Speedway racing is cool too. We got into it a little bit over here when an American rider, Bruce Penhall, won the world championship, what, back in the '80s I think it was a little different than what we do here, but still fun to watch. I've lost interest in flat track these days but when I was into it, we had some great riders in addition to Roberts; Corky Keener, Jay Springsteen, Scott Parker, Scott brothers, Bubba Shobert, Ted Boody, Steve Eklund to name a few.
@@pabloperez4063 I know it's too late for him to come back but it would be nice if he was still racing. Anytime he raced against Sheene I always wanted Robert's to win, He never let me down. Sheene was good but he wasn,t great as Roberts was . It was a joy to watch him race. I don't watch Moto GP. I have no time for it.
Nice , it makes me feel good to be from Modesto, I was lucky to have king Ken , show me how to flattrack, and to have a great friend like Indo.thanks for just about everything else , God bless you all, Lodi motorcycle club.😀
I am curious about pictures of the trio in one black and white with Kenny Robert's Stan Anderson and Raymond Huff do you know where or if any other are available
My Uncle and Grandma were very close to Kenny's family in the 60s did alot of California flattracking his name was Stan Anderson and her name was Barbara
THE...all time great 3 world championships on the trott then team manager with Eddie lawson &Wayne rainey ..winning multi world championships building his own bikes THE MAIN MAN always!!!!!! NO.1
"He'll take a couple of years to adapt to the European tracks", they said! Er, no, he went to all of those tracks and practiced both the 500 and a 250 so he could learn them quicker, and won three Titles in a row from the first year. And that's 'our' Kel Caruthers standing behind him at :18 seconds into the video...

@@jamieargent7139 he still is to me. I had two poster's on my bedroom wall in the 70,s. One was Kenny Roberts. Second one was Giacomo Agostini. Two of the very best.
I knew his Dad who gave me a pair of Kenny's ABC #2 leathers still have them with the sticker stuck on back I believe it's the pair he wore while riding 250
I had this year's ago a friend borrowed it I never got it back, I never asked for it back I shouldn't have too. We are not friends anymore not because of the dvd. But he knows it's not his.
Not only was Kenny a Great Rider but he had his own race Team and his own race bike the Proton .. it was a very cometative two stroke but new rules favored 4 strokes.. Kenyy also helped witht he development of the Lectron ?Carbuartor.. I recently read that a Man sold his Motorcycle Dealership to have money to support a young Roberts Dirt Track racing..

The very best guy for that era of GP racing.
Always will be the king!!!

Yes so true
Glad I got to see him race in person on the dirt at Santa Fe Park and Peoria in Illinois and at Daytona. Yes, he was one of a kind!

Roberts was awesome. Wish he could find his way back into MotoGP. He ran some great teams after he retired from racing.
he must be almost 70, Scotty...it is too late. But for sure, he has not taken motoracing out of his head
He would still be champion he was the best.

The Sound Of The Engines Is SO Much Better Than That Music Crap! If The DVD Showcases His Life, That's The Worst Trailer Ever.
Racing with a broken back and winning when they still did push starts. What else can you say?
