Whilst Joey was the king of the roads Mike was a the greatest all rounder IMHO.

Apart from Mike being one of the best ever motor cycle racers, on any short, GP circuit or road circuit, and on any machine, being Two stroke or Four stroke, single cylinder or multi cylinder, he was also a gentleman, he was polite, he did not use bad language in the company of children or lady's, he said please and thank you, dressed respectfully, and did not wear silly woolen hats !!!!!
