I think when on rare occasion he is beaten he takes it very well.
Must agree re. baccy sponsors though. He used to always say he wouldn't ride for one.
Well said Hermit - 46 forever.
RE. Falling off, he fell off loads in his first year on the 500's. He was just lucky enough not to cripple himself. Once he got the hang of the big bikes he has the ability to ride right up to the limit (and beyond), every time, with perfect consistency. That's why he's not a binner generally.
