Re: FS: BRAND NEW Replica Mick Doohan Arai Quantum HELMET sz L
Some pics and bio of the Champ:
http://www.bikerenews.com/Racing_Leg...ck_Doohan.html
Michael "Mick" Sydney Doohan AM born June 4, 1965 (1965-06-04) (age 42) in Brisbane, Australia, is a former Grand Prix motorcycle road racing World Champion, who won five consecutive 500 cc World Championships, second only to Giacomo Agostini (though Doohan's feat was basically equaled by Valentino Rossi, who won the final 500 cc GP championship, and the following 4 MotoGP championships, as MotoGP replaced 500 cc GP as the top championship on the world scene). He is considered to be one of the best motorcycle racers in the history of the sport.
Biography
Originally from the Gold Coast, near Brisbane, Doohan raced in Australian Superbikes in the late 80s, and also won both races as Superbike World Championship visited Oran Park in 1988. He is one of the few 500 cc or MotoGP World Champions to have won a Superbike World Championship race.
He made his Grand Prix debut for Honda on a 500cc two-stroke motorcycle in 1989. In 1991, he was paired with Wayne Gardner on a Honda RVF750 superbike and won the Suzuka 8 Hours endurance race. Doohan competed successfully throughout the early 1990s and appeared to be on his way to winning his first world championship when he was seriously injured in a practice crash before the 1992 Dutch TT. He suffered permanent serious damage to his right leg due to medical complications and, at one stage, risked amputation of the leg. At the time, Doohan was 65 points in the lead of the championship, but could not compete for eight weeks after the crash. After an arduous recovery, Doohan returned to racing for the final two races but could not prevent Yamaha rider Wayne Rainey from winning his third consecutive title.
The Thunder from Down Under, a Mick Doohan biography, by Mat Oxley
Throughout 1993 he struggled to regain fitness and the ability to race the Honda at elite level. However, in 1994 he won his first 500 cc World Championship. From then until 1998 he dominated the class, winning five consecutive 500 cc World Championships. In 1997, his most successful year, Doohan won 12 out of 15 races, finishing second in the other three.
In June 1996 Doohan was inducted as a Member of the Order of Australia for his contribution to the sport of motor racing.
Despite up to eight rivals on almost identical Honda motorcycles Doohan's margin of superiority over them was such that in many races Doohan would build a comfortable lead and then ride well within his limits to cruise to victory. Although pure riding skill clearly played a large part in his success, his ability to perfect the suspension and geometry of a racing motorcycle gave him an enormous advantage over his rivals, even though other Honda riders (particularly Doohan's teammates) benefited somewhat from his ability to perfect the bike's handling. It is generally accepted that his development of the Honda throughout the 1990s helped the company to dominate racing for many years. At the time of Doohan's retirement, the Honda had developed into a much better handling machine than it had ever been previously.
One notable trait of Doohan's post-crash riding style was the use of a hand-operated rear brake developed during 1993. This was operated by a "nudge" bar similar to a personal water craft throttle, but mounted on the left handlebar. Some commentators have argued that this technique offered Doohan an additional advantage in rear brake control, though there was nothing to stop other riders from trying it (and some did).
In 1999 Doohan had another accident, this time in qualifying. He again broke his leg and subsequently announced his retirement. He was somewhat unlucky, as his accident rate was far lower than many competitors.
For all his time in 500 cc class his chief engineer was Jeremy Burgess, who after his retirement became Valentino Rossi's chief engineer.
After his retirement, he worked as a roving adviser to Honda's Grand Prix race effort. At the conclusion of the 2004 season, Doohan and Honda parted company.
Mick married his long term partner Selina Sines of 11 years on Friday 21st March 2006, on Hamilton Island in front of 100 guests. Mick and Selina have two children, Allexis and Jack, who were Flower Girl and Page Boy respectively; while Mick's brother Colin was Best Man.
Many current generation MotoGP riders consider Mick as an inspiration, including 2007 MotoGP world champion, Casey Stoner.
Mick Doohan is the inspiration for a new motorcycle-style rollercoaster, named Mick Doohan's Motocoaster, at Dreamworld, an amusement park near the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia.
Formula One
After his success in Grand Prix motorcycle racing he got a chance to test a Formula One racecar, the Williams FW19, at Circuit de Catalunya, Spain, in April 1998. Despite posting lap times similar to his 500 cc Grand Prix bike, he found the car difficult to drive and subsequently bent the car against a guard rail. He also crashed and totalled a Mercedes Benz AMG in Targa Tasmania.
Rollercoaster
Michael Doohan received his own rollercoaster at Dreamworld in Gold Coast,Australia.This is the only known Intamin AG Motorbike Coaster,since others are made by Vekoma and Zamperla.
