Featuring Giacomo Agostini and Phil Read, narrated by Mike Hailwood.
I don't remember girls in bikinis waving time cards at Brands back in the day

 

[Coastal Cruiser.]

Makes me laugh all the spectators strolling around, nowadays you would not get anywhere near the bikes or riders they are all kept in the garages until they are ready to go then straight back in afterwards

 

[David and Sally]

What a great piece of film

I can just smell the Castrol R, it's hard to believe things were like that then, i'd forgotten.

Good footage including the late great Phil Read and Jarno Saarinen. The young girl with the board out for Jarno is Soili Karme his girlfriend at the time. She still promotes all things Jarno Saarinen including a upcoming film on there lives.

Notice how many were on the starting grid. Probably about twice as many as you have now.

How cool was Ago.

And the push starts must of been nerve racking, hoping your bike would fire up before someone hit you up the ar@e !

Remember seeing Phil Read riding at Chadwell Park in '68 or '69.
