I saw this topic on another non bike site, and it raised some surprising responces. So I thought it might be interesting here.

I'll go first, although I have quite a few, so to narrow it down to 3, it would be....

William Joseph Dunlop - facts about this man speak for themselves, not just "the" best rider ever, but personality, charity work etc.

John Templeton - The orthopaedic consultant, who saved my life and my leg in 1984 after a serious bike accident.

Steve McQueen - Great actor and biker with incredible talent on any kind of motorcycle.

Its got to be Sheene for me. Still well up when I think of the thousands who stayed behind to see him in the classic race at Donny on moto gp day. He wiped the floor with the rest of the field in both races.
His last competative race. A true hero
Oh and me Dad, who without our family days out to a newly opened Donny, I would not be fantatical about bike racing and be a biker till i die. Cheers Dad

Burt Munro... builder of the "worlds fastest Indian" who built a world land speed record bike in his shed in NZ - the man was an engineering genius as an ex engine builder I am amazed at the way he converted the original 1920's engine into something capable of 200+ mph in the 1950's

My son who is out in Afghanistan at the moment with REME, started his Afghan tour only 3 weeks after coming back from Iraq, Im not sure if its dedication to duty or stupid, but bless him and all the other soldiers who are out there.
