  2. He is one of my motorcycling heroes, not widely recognized here in NZ, mind you no one bike related usually is.

  3. Not that well known in the U.K. either but it’s a brilliant story with a sad ending unfortunately.

  4. Haven't finished the whole thing yet but sat through the first three in one go. So, so interesting and sad. Thank you so much for posting the link,

  5. Finished now.

    I remember Vernon Cooper boss at the ACU and wot a barsteward he was. Disgrace to Silverstone and the ACU.

    Thank you so much for posting the link.

    Well worth a watch if you want a reminder of the bad old times when 2 or 3 riders per year would get killed...

  7. The thing that I liked most about him was that not only did he ride the bike, but he built it as well, that and he finished 2nd in the season behind Phil Read and in front of Ago despite being dead.

    I was given a copy of this on DVD a while ago. I think it's still available. Highly recommended...

  11. Going on from this I'm now watching DVDs. After Mike Hailwood, I watched this. Didn't know that Barry Sheene, as a kid, started on a Ducati!
