Look at that Vincent go at the end of the video. What a bike! In 1981, I had a 1978 Ducati 900ss, and there’s no way it would have kept up with that Vincent from the 50s.
commentator quotes Vincent Lightning in fact John raced in 500cc class on a Vincent Grey Flash sort of as he had built and modified it himself. How on earth he raced it with its 300 x 20 front wheel which tended to lose any grip at the slighted hint of water would love to have seen him race Hailwood
What a fantastic documentary this is!
These images are priceless, what an absolute brilliant informative film.
We were there. What a great day it was. Never forgotten.
Great stuff ... so many heroes

Where is Bailwood
Music bloody Music.Why is it whenever there’s bikes involved, they always play music. They must realise the bikes are the MUSIC.
Great video 👍👍
Why the music
where was Mike Hailwood?
He’d died two months before this.
Dead
You could have asked before putting my film here. Removing the credits do not give you ownership.

Maybe you could have chosen to share the film? So many have enjoyed seeing it, including me.
