I remember a big tree in 1982.

If you're talking about the tree at Coppice, it was still there in 2001, advice in riders briefing "aim for the tree, tip it in when you think you've gone too far"

No. Big trees through Hall Bends.

Before my time, I think they've been pretty much as they are now for the last 20 years

When I did first trackday in 1999 (after 20 years away ) it looked so wide and open through there. And obviously much safer.

Barn is weird without the Barn, and the missing tree at Coppice is odd.

Charlie's is weird without Charlie. Possibly.

Charlie's was awesome before muppets started calling it Charlie's 1 and Charlie's 2

Knicker Brook is a bit hairy without err....

I overheard a conversation between Emmett and Harris about lines at Charlie. Strange thing was , this was at Brands Hatch.

Yeah, when did that become a thing, I remember being told "it's actually two corners but take it as a single corner" back when I listened to good advice, and was fast enough to need it.

Anyone recognise this famous lad?

Nope, saw it on Faceberk after I answered, my thought process was who's tall and skinny and rode a Suzuki at Daytona in the mid 80s.

My question is who was Schwantz's team mate for the Daytona 200 the same year as this picture was taken.

[Yorick]

Easy one

That last one was easy.

Anyway, a point each for rider, circuit and machine.

It's definitely Giacomo Agostini on the MV-3 (and I'd guess the 500). As for the circuit it does look very TT-ish.

Is it Cadwell when there was a barn?

Coolio. But was a 350.

Yup. Pic was 1971.

Yeah - almost impossible to tell apart in B/W. As an aside I was spectating on the Island in 1971 when Ago broke down on the first lap of the 350 race. He came past us sounding peachy but just a few yards down the road the bike stunbled, fluffed and then just stopped.

This was a very rare happening. If MVs broke down, Count Agusta would regard it as a personal slight. And he wasn't a man to be trifled with.
