There was a great photo that summed up the series - about 6 bikes trying to get around the same corner, all leaning on each other.
Even bland can be a type of character

That was the year I was proddy racing on my RD350 while working at the Ministry of Defence.
I do remember Barry Sheene trying to commentate live on one particular race. The BBC had obviously told him not to swear.
He literally couldn't say anything!

The Barry Sheene commentary was on ITV, the races are on YouTube, well worth a watch.
