dave's test"I was doing the Castrol Six-Ho

"I was doing the Castrol Six-Hour race in Australia and got the call from HRC. Erv Kanemoto had told them I was worth testing. It was my first time in Japan, and a strange feeling as the bike they gave me to ride was Freddie Spencer's 1986 NSR500. He'd been my hero for years, and here I was sitting on his bike. I knew if I impressed I may be able to get a good ride out of it. The bike was awesome, Freddie's settings worked for me and the bike suited the circuit. The NSR was different to the RG I'd ridden; the Suzuki was like a comfy armchair, the NSR felt like a missile. It didn't steer particularly well but with Suzuka having so many fast turns, it worked. I knew I had to ride the wheels off the thing and at least get close to the lap record. Eventually I dipped under it. There was a bit of pressure to do well but I simply had to go as fast as I could. I still remember sitting in the airport waiting to go home with a six-figure HRC contract for the 1987 season in my hands. I couldn't believe it. My love affair with Suzuka continued as I took pole there at the first race of the 1987 season for the HB factory Honda team.""I was doing the Castrol Six-Hour race in Australia and got the call from HRC.
