Wayne Gardner was the first Australian to win the 500CC/Moto GP World Championship and paved the way for many Australian championships to follow.
To win, he had to tame the Honda NSR500, a monster of a bike that now resides in the National Motor Racing Museum.

I remember those days when GP racing was on SBS, Wayne put it up in the mainstream.

Drove all the way from Melbourne and got pictures sitting on that bike thanks to Wayne's Dad when it use to be in Wayne's warehouse in Wollongong NSW

I sat on that bike at Calder park, 1988. Swann Series? It was on display behind the small van than transported it, very casual, I asked and yes was the answer. Threw a leg over, operated the controls, wow image trying that on at Australian GP whilst Moto Gp bike rotates on roped off display. Australian motorcycle road racing took a while to realise the signifigance of WG's acheivements.

Shouldn’t it have the number two on it instead of the number one??
