Sweet! Brings back memories of the Greats of GP. Some of those old two strokes must of been fun to ride......

that first one is the first NSR500 from 1984. it was a very experimental design which really showcased some of the adventuresome engineering that Honda did when they came back to GP racing. Unfortunately it never worked as hoped.. Spencer didn't even finish the year on it. that's a great pic of it.

The second one is the Elf honda, which had that unique front end. Ron haslam raced one of those for a few years.

It's subtle but sometimes you see them in the pits like that.. Here's a pic from my wife's collection from Corner working at Laguna.
I'm not sure exactly why they do it, besides some guesses along the lines of it just makes the bike roll easier, there's no possible damage done to the rotors, and the race rims are together on the the warming rack.
