If you are lying around after Christmas and want something to watch ?
Hailwood on his Duc at Mallory. I think 1978 after his comeback TT win.
Giving a few young fellas a lesson and not even sticking his knee out !

Cheers Gaz, not the first time I'd seen that but still worth another look, the man was a great rider that's for sure.

He was/is my hero from 16 yrs old Glen. Finally met him at the end of a Marlboro Series Chch mid 70s. Yes, all corner speed and tucked.
If I can just do the same with Rossi I'll be happy.

Sweet good watch, Hailwood is a god :2thumbsup

Yesterday on youtube saw Schwantz' first ride on a 500cc 2T, also at Mallory park in 86 borrowing Barry Sheenes old bike. Also very impressive, especially on the brakes as usual. :yes: :crazy:
