Old TT race

Wow,- Amazing to actually see these guys in their prime. I never knew that the works Suzuki's had reversed cylinders, hmmmm, just like the MZ's.

The bravest nutters on Earth. I salute them all!

@ wolfakula No 16 was Stuart Graham, son of 50s World champ Les Graham who was sadly killed at the bottom of Bray Hill in the IOM. Pretty sure No 17 is Dave Simmonds on the works Kawasaki. Note the wide fairing to accommodate the carbs on the disc valve twin. Dave died in a caravan fire when a gas bottle exploded while he was trying to rescue someone. Anyone know the circuit?

Dave Simmonds indeed, sadly killed at Clermont-Ferrand I think Barney. Nice clips of the 125s at Mallory hairpin, I was about fifty yards further on round the corner towards the Elbow that day.

@shinysideup100 the brits cut their own throats, it was british frame designers that enabled jabs to use their engine power
