It was more interesting in those days. You were closer to the racing, you could wander the pits, talk to riders, very folksy. I got breakfast once! As mentioned, many racers did MX, trials, r/racing, more or less without any sponsorship. S/h bikes roadbikes/spares were cheap. Buy a bike for 50 quid (Velo MOV £7) strip it, some cut an'shut, tuning (big hammer and chisel!) and club-racing alongside the stars was yours! Mick Grant, started this way, others too. Those were the days, my friend.....
