I went to the NZ premiere of this last night in Auckland. It was fantastic, lots and lots of behind the scenes footage, interviews with the people who were there up to their knees in it and actually knew what happened, the story was almost equally told between Wayne and Donna, with comments from Rainey, Swartz, Lawson, Mamora Moriwaki, Jeremy Burgess, all the people from his very early days in Europe, everyone. At the end was a Q&A with the man himself, and Graeme Crosby was there too, all MC'd by Mike Pero. Best few hours of your life you could ever hope to spend. Absolutely superb.
Edit - absolutely no mention of car racing, it was totally bike related, which was fine as the car racing is another story in itself. |

I had dealings with an ex HRC personality (factory Japan Team) for a while a few years ago and his thoughts on Doohan were less than flattering, way way less and he was a man who knows Doohan and Gardner extremely well. I can't recall discussing WG too much but the description of his personality from people who know him sounds like a lot of other very competitive people I have met. They are nearly all self centred to some extent because in a way they have to be and their emotions before and after competing are on a roller coaster. I saw Peter Janson threaten a fellow competitor with all sorts of stuff one night during a rally which on reflection was more funny than anything else.
