Rumour has it he had a hole drilled in the chin piece of his helmet so he could have those last few drags on the ciggie on the grid before the race.
Yep no visor ratchets in those days Jez unless you had plenty of Wong’s. On one of my first full face helmets the visor was held on and swivelled on a press stud arrangement and was held closed by another press stud arrangement. Ruined that helmet when I high sided a Yamaha RD250 and landed on my right shoulder and the side of my head resulting in the press stud holding the visor on being pushed into the helmet lining
Looking at the advert yours had winning stripes Jez. BTW what are winning stripes, did they make your bike faster
Bazza only wore Bell helmets when he was racing. No matter what the sponsors sticker on it, it was allus a Bell.
I seen this guy at Combe too Bill, uncanny likeness to the man himself wasn't he , I spoke to another guy that was the spitting image of you too...oh hang on, that was you
