Great post I went to several trans atlantic series so good to see and hear the the best of the riders and machines. Sheene, Grant, Mamola et al.. where has the time gone?

[advancedbiker]

Did you go to Oulton Park when they spelt all the banners wrong..I went to the Transatanic Races.....

I love the way the narrator tells us how engines are built to "Tight racing specifications" whilst on screen some spannerman larrups the crap out of an expansion chamber with a big hammer!!

Lol at the commentary at 24 secs as he says "No one could ride these machines to work...the engines are built to tight racing specifications " just as some proper old school, oily finger nailed machanic is bashing fu@k out of an expansion chamber with a big hammer...!!!

@advancedbiker Yeah. I wish that I could have seen him. I was born in 1994. But My father, Spencer (Dale's brother) and I are going to start an attempt to get the old TZ 750 running. :)

Early 70s.
