How it used to be in’t olden days of racing... 🏍️ 🚗 💨

Like everything, it was sooooo much less clinical in those days and all the better for it in many ways. Much more about man and his machine than multi million corporate team setup. The only welcome change really is the improvement in clothing and track safety which has probably saved dozens of lives and severe injuries, no more patching up torn leathers with duct tape like they did in the 70's/ 80's.

Perfect time and place for some pics of Mike Hailwood , and the history , and the bikes , and his dad !
Barry Sheene had a hole drilled in his helmet to allow him to have a tab while kitted up. 
It didn't do him any favours in hindsight.

Is that a Rob North Trident with letter box fairing? That triple sounded brilliant.
looks like one
I believe it is. At the Stafford show they have a section where they start up classic race bikes as you probably all know.
The Rob North Trident nearly blew my ears off, incredible sounding bike.
