Beat me by...............that much
great thread T.W.R post some more, its nice to have a reason to trawl through some memories
and brush up on the racing trivia.
when i move to nz thats one thing i'm gonna miss.
They were machines that you HAD to ride, no electronic gimmickry to help you.
Ah, the memories....thanks for sharing, Bill.
"...you meet the weirdest people riding a Guzzi !!..."
It's very sad when you realise the guys you watched as a young chap are now considered 'classics'.
Damn, I nailed those but wasn't around for a couple of days, got any more?
This lot were just a tempter to freshen the memory
lols mate you should see (will see) pics I've found of the like of Castrol 6hr series, bol D'or etc, most of the racers must have had nuts the size of basketballs
Yeah but these guys inspired the minds of the current fleet of speed merchants, so more respect to them and considering the technology of the time the old racers raced against the odds with a fraction of the budget backing them.
Been digging out some more tonight so stay tuned got some goodies from fairly close to home too
Actually at first I thought you had to name the race bike rather than the rider as it was posted in this forum rather than the Racing forum.
