    Hailwood at Mallory, 1978

    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 !

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

    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.
    Cheers

    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

    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.
