Regarding pictures, I thought some might enjoy the period (mid 1960’s) photos in the Hailwood/ Walker book . All photos credited to “ The Art of Motorcycle Racing “ by Mike Hailwood and Murray Walker .

Interesting to note the difference between now and then - pudding basin helmets , plain leathers with no body armor , goggles.

Check out the outside sole in the right boot photo- ground away !

Sadly this book’s printing is dated 1964 so it pre dates the Honda RC 166 , my all time favorite race bike ( don’t hate me- I like Manx Nortons too )
