Wonderful stuff but I had a lump in my throat watching it. Ive had my 1968 TT programme out while following it. magnificent to see this stuff. There is an almost total lack of any TT footage from 1967 to 1975.  Many thanks.

6.20 the shots down to bedstead..look at todays shots and you will see a full housing estate where that field is ah ah

hill street blues? give me a fucking break

[megasuggs]

I'm so happy that you found yourself, it's a dream come true for me when I get comments like yours on my videos ( i've had a few on my trials and scrambleing videos too) it makes uploading these old films worthwhile, thanks for your comment.

totally different riding style in those days

[flanneryged]

Giacomo Agostini what a rider,I can't say he was "the" best of all time but he is up there with them Spencer/Lawson/Hailwood/Rossi/­Rainey/and Schwantz.

I was there that year. Great footage, but I don't think Hill Street Blues theme from 1981 does it any favours.

[DBD34GS]

Percy Tate just after John Cooper.

Derek Chatterton at the Gooseneck?

#17 Benelli I think is Renzo Pasolini, right after the shots of Ago.

[DBD34GS]

Bill Ivy at the Gooseneck ,right after Phil Read.

[megasuggs]

Great info Mr Gold Star, I had worked out Pasolini (you cant really miss the Benelli)

such great men.

[roadrocket]

i think i saw tommy robb tony godfrey and john cooper.

[megasuggs]

Yes Tommy has the shamrock on his helmet and John Cooper the moon eyes of course, you can't help but love them.
