Brands Hatch Superbike 1974

1974. I was 17 and an apprentice motorcycle mechanic at a bike shop in west London. Seeing this brings the memories flooding back…

Me too- I was 23 then and fortunate old enough to have witnessed Mike Hailwood dicing with Agostini at Brands a few years earlier in 1968 - the good old days 🙂!

Great to see this. Thrilled to watch our friend Geoff Went leading for a while

I spoke to Geoff about this and he explained that after leading for some laps his expansion chamber split and slowed the bike.
