It's how I remember Snetterton, when I went there a couple of years ago after not having been for 15 years I was amazed how nice it is, Cadwell hasn't changed much though, and I bet Lydden is still the same.
Mallory is still shit.

In my defence,I was 19 and it was the 70s.....a salutory lesson in how to spend a fortune and still fuck up a perfectly good Z1.

Those look like Protek sliders... I think I've still got a pair in the shed

My Manx Leathers one-piece had velco for sliders as an option - I think that was 86 or 87 when I got that suit.

Stuart Adamson was a big bike fan. Mark Williams flew up to Scotland to interview him for Bike. He got off the plane wearing a fashion jacket and Levis to find Adamson waiting to pick him up with his brand new bike - a VF400F if I remember the article right - and a spare helmet. It was a 50 mile ride to Adamson's gaff... in January.

Basically, he explained he'd just blown the pay out from the first album on the bike. The deal that they'd signed seemed good at the time but diverted most of the cash to their agent and the record company.

No the were a guard that went on the barrels, very popular with Z owners in the late 70s and early 80s
The finned cover over the points is pointless

that bit doesn't get hot (well it shouldn't)
