    Is that a "Special one". I don't remember seeing the signature in the one I read. Was a long time ago though I guess.

    Got plenty of options....some of the mags are getting turfed and some being kept, just flicking through them as I go. Have found some interesting things so far though.

    There was a version with a red cover.
    I'd forgotten all about it and found stashed in amongst a pile of 1979/80 Two Wheels mags

    Trying to figure out the bike he's on. Is it a GS450? (Wouldn't be 400 or 425 cause of the cast wheels).

    Thanks Mike. (Oh and I did eventually find it too...)
    Yeh but you have to admit, no other race rider has 'retired' from riding in races for 10 yrs, then come back to win the most prestigious race in the world.
    Hell look at Schaumaker, after only a few years he couldnt make the grade again.

    Mid 70's Books.

    Some older Ex-Pat Brits may remember these. I'm not sure just which model Yamaha Dave Taylor is riding in the third photo.
