Mat Mladin's longtime mechanic, Reg O'Rourke's teeth have long been a paddock conversation piece. Former World Superbike rider and factory Honda man Aaron Slight wrote in his book that he learned in working with Reg that if O'Rourke began to remove his teeth when angry--the smart start running.
Discovered today on Youtube is a film clip of O'Rourke and Mladin's crewchief, Peter Doyle, discussing an upcoming dentist visit that O'Rourke seems to have some apprehensive about attending. Apparently this was shot at Yoshimura and uploaded by a person using the user-name Yoshimura.
For those who haven't worked with Australians for the last decade or so, this film clip comes with handy subtitles to help discern what they're saying.
