I think that was 1998, I remember all the drama of that race!! poor Bob was riding the wheels off that Kawasaki, and in spite of the fuel cap problem, (I think the cap went hydraulic as the tank was full to the brim) he still either had the lead by a second, or was within one second of the lead at Ramsey hairpin on the last lap, but the exhaust was also falling to bits by then and he was losing power, it sounded like a tank through the bottom of Bray Hill on the last lap.

A amazing ride by Bob that day!!
