Incredible talents and filming efforts
RIP CHRIS VINCENT... Great footage
Great memories. I remember going to Mallory Park, Cadwell, Oulton etc in the 1960's when I was a teenager. I got Bob McIntyre's autograph once before he was killed at Oulton. Besides these guys I remember Chris Vincent and Bill Bodice, wonder if any of them are still going. I saw Phil Read a few years ago at Brighton.
So you are over 70

Charlie Freeman. My nearest and frequently used motorcycle dealer, back in the day. LOL
Lived not far away from the circuit went to every race on my push bike I would have been 11
I went to Mallory Park several times during the 1970's. I can still remember those huge traffic jams up to the circuit for the Trans Atlantic meetings! Happy days!...
Very cooool!
Those BM's sure sound good.

Was it normal for a passenger to stand up when leaning behind the driver?
'Back in the day' techniques were different and relied a lot on the technology of the day....(No 'Slicks' for example!) Plus, many of the older outfits were 'Sitters' not 'Kneelers' :-)
Seems like their just crawling
By today's standards yes it would seem slow(er), although still plenty fast to cause serious injury or death in the event of a crash. Some things to take into account. Look at the track tons of exposed armaco barriers as well as trees right near the tracks edge. I don't know about you but I wouldn't want to impact either of those stationary objects. Also look at the safety gear they are wearing an open face helmet that really offered minimal protection at best. The leathers they are wearing had no internal pads like today's leathers.
Even the leathers/gear I raced in the 90's with is sub par compared to what is available today(internal air bags).
@@jjmoto65 I was racing solos in the
Late eighties early nineties forgotten
era and early stocks. You?
@@velobob4299 I'm from the US. I raced in the 1990's Northeast region races sanctioned by AMA/CCS. I raced mainly in production(no real modifications) and supersport(minimal modifications) races. Occasionally I entered Superbike and GP races which pretty much allowed for unlimited modifications. Really great memories and such a great community of racers at the time. I crashed in practice once and guys I would be racing against and some I didn't even know well were loaning me parts and helping me to repair my bike so I could make the race start. As I said great times/memories. Cheers
LOL look at the width of the tyres! Sh*t, I'm an 'old fart' but even MY D*ck is longer than that tyres width! LOL
I passengered there as late as mid 90's when it was still bare armcos and no run off at Devils Elbow. Mind you, that was more of a worry for the driver 😄.
