Just got another couple from this meeting, this time with me in them on my two bikes (obvously from two separate races)- both sum up Bandit racing for me :)

No 96 in the first pic below is the crasher in the previous post, this pic was taken 5 mins or so before the crash pic :D

And me fighting it out on TB in one of the other races with "young un" Kieran, that was a great race with a race-long battle between us :thumbup:

This popped up on a Facebook page.
I recognised the rider straight away from back in the day.
I made a comment about something only he would have known about,to which he replied.
Have spent quite a while now reminiscing with him from 40 years ago.
Happy as Larry.

One for the oldies amongst us ( that's almost everyone then :lol: )

How top-level MotoGP riders used to operate- am guessing that this was at one of the Anglo-American Match Race rounds

That's nothing. Hailwood used to wear through the outside "corner" of his boots and frequently rode with them duct-taped up to "sort of "protect his toes.
