Absolutely amazing , the lack of concern by the FIM in that era, about rider safety. A track like the full length Nurburgring has zero room for error, no wonder King Kenny led a rider revolt for safer conditions the following year.
lol...could you imagine the calamity of telling today's 4 stroke motogp riders they'd have to push-start their scooters to begin the race??? These guys were a special breed.

Except Kenny, Barry, Cecotto and Ferrari, the rest of this grid were almost amateurs... Compared to the cracks today.
