    lol well to make it more interesting, could go for naming bikes
    Just thought in here would get a bit more activity.
    Some of the pics that I'll put up once I've scanned them off are more main stream bikes and are bound to raise a few shocked expressions when they're seen a couple I've found even made me think Holy Fark

    Yep Wayne on the Mentor Motorcycles CB1100R that he co-piloted with Andrew Johnson. He spent 234mins in the saddle 209 of those leading the race in the wet conditions and all done with a fuelling issue that was only solved 43mins before the finish of the race.

    3rd pic is
    mick grant (leading honda britain)
    Ron haslam (second honda britain)
    wayne gardner on the moriwaki kawasaki. ??
    I saw him at a couple of rounds of the transatlantic trohpey here
    in the uk in 81. I even got to sit and chat with him outside his caravan (tiny litle 4 berth messy thing) while he was working on the bike. he came over as a real nige bloke. I've still got one of the promotional moriwaki stickers he gave us.

    Yeah Croz getting brassed off and going around the outside of Haslem at Mallory Park 79', he only had 30mins to learn the track & qualify for the Post-TT

    Pic #2 Nah not Kenny Blake or a TZ350 (think bigger)

    Pic #1 Not John Pace

    Pic #5 Yep a chic on a GS750, but who??? & what's special about it?

    possibly but it's still Mang on the bike check the leathers (name on the back).

    The Actual quotation that goes with the photo says :New World Champion Anton Mang has taken the mantle of Kork Ballington and is now busy in the 500cc fray
