Heroes: Who is yours?

[Gazork0]

Yeah, no doubt. Gods among men. I find these events to be poignant more than anything else - track racing is about skill and talent, road racing is about courage and bravery.

Here's three random pictures proving just that:
Look at how compressed the bike is!
The eyes....
Blasting down Irish country roads at ridiculous speeds, battling for position....oh, and getting airborne at the same time!

Ridiculous speeds, certainly. Check out this onboard video from David Jeffries doing a full lap of the circuit: Clicky

Do you ride?

PS. that last picture would make a great advert for something or other.

Not a rider, just a huge motorsports fan

As for an advert....

Damn straight. Beats kicking a ball around.

lol. I can kinda visualise them bouncing up and down like pogo sticks.

I have regarded Brionovoff Titlioanovich as one of the 18th century's most innovative composers, alongside Shaftovleonski Rotcherkokoff who both dominated the Romantic era. Despite my equal appreciation throughout the former's composition, the latter's work such as Grubanovdom and Peniilusko have especially spoke to me, deeming Rotcherkokoff's work as Godly, a true idol. Who will save me from seemingly imminent Banana Raep.













And on top of that, eH's a pretty cool guy.

R.P. McMurphy from the book/movie One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.


Shit, he was awesome, I honestly look up to him in some aspects.

David Vivian Currie

Another time, even though his unit’s artillery fire was falling within 15 yards of his tank, he ordered it continued because it was having a devastating effect on the enemy. At dusk on Aug. 20, the enemy tried to mount a decisive attack to break their way out but failed miserably. The attack force was routed before it could be deployed. Currie promptly ordered an attack and completed the capture of the village, effectively blocking that part of the Chambois-Trun escape route and denying it to the Germans trapped in the Falaise pocket.

Aubrey Cosens

Later, with his company’s ammunition supply critically low, Tilston set off to replenish it from A Co.’s supply. As he approached, ignoring the German fire all around him, Cropp was flabbergasted: “I saw him coming, not worried, just a smile on his face…and in he sauntered, more or less, and said ‘We’re short of ammunition. What can we have?’ So we supplied him. He was, of course bleeding from a number of wounds and we patched them up and sent him back. But the thing that really struck me about Fred was that this man was really enjoying the war. Here am I, terrified by what’s going on most of the time and here is a man who is totally enjoying what is happening.”

Tilston ran back through a hail of German fire, this time loaded down with hundreds of rounds of ammunition and two boxes of grenades, just in time to help his men ward off an enemy counter-attack.

Tilston made at least six more hazardous trips to A Co. for ammunition.

John Robert Osborn

That afternoon, Osborn’s company was cut off from the battalion and surrounded. When the Japanese began lobbying several grenades into the slight depression where the Winnipeggers had positioned themselves, Osborn picked up the live bombs and hurled them back. One of the grenades landed in an awkward spot where it was impossible for Osborn to pick it up. Shouting “Duck lads”, he threw himself on top of the grenade. He died instantly, but his self-sacrifice saved the lives of many.

I'm gonna go ahead here and say: Bender.

Jack Churchill gets the #1 spot.

Alex Lifeson or Geddy Lee are kind of tied for second. I'd lean more towards Alex, though.
