British Grand Prix 1979 Silverstone (Sheene vs Roberts) Part 2

1979 British Grand Prix from Silverstone will always live in the memory as one of the best races of the decade with two of the best of the era in Barry Sheene and Kenny Roberts, not only was it a great race but a landmark for Honda as they made their much anticipated return to Grand Prix racing with their radical NR500 4 Stroke ridden by Mick Grant and Takazumi Katayama.

Petrol cocks leaking, lol.

Oils leaking out of the bike (two stroke, lol.).

Poor o'l Kel Coruthers was havin babies, hehe.

Great spanner man he was. One of the natural talents, a true Yamaha techo, as like Geramy Bergas, Erve Kanemoto, Wilf Needham, and others i've jusv totally forgotten from that error.

I own an RG500 (just sold an RZ500), and man, those two stroke are never ending, the tool box is always open, and your always tweakin the friggin thing,

Wouldnt swap it !!

@adamrs17 -

G'day Adam, just had a look at the RG, she's a nice unit mate. Mine needs a litte bit of a tidy up, so it's not as nice as yours, but i still love kickin it over and smellin the fumes, lolol.

I'lle get a spray gun to it sooner or later, then sell it, im a bit over two strokes, but have to say, a "four cylinder" two stroke is just - somethin else .

All the best .
