I've never understood the attraction of hairpins. Yes the roads they're on lead to wonderful views, but riding around hairpins is just a ball-ache.
On some of them there's the thrill of imminent death if you get it wrong. I think I remodelled the underside of the 2-up, fully laden K12LT on some of them. I certainly remodelled my underwear knowing that the barriers would catch the bike...but not the passengers.

I don't like him but have massive respect for his talent.
But if I was meeting the King, I'd try to look smart. He looks like he's been in pub all day

A mate is a mechanic. He was going to a funeral so he took his overalls off and declared himself ready! His wife says, you cant go in jeans for Gods sake, you look like a mechanic. So he went a put his suit on. He reappeared and said how that look? She said you look like a mechanic in a suit!
Soem people just don't scrub up well, but yes, a shave wouldn't have killed him!

Links to a 1972 full length documentary about racing. I found it when reading about Gong. I've not watched it yet

Simon Le Bon had a load of bikes I seem to recall. My local dealer 'Mach Motorcycles' had a OWO1 that was supposed to be his race/track bike back in the early 90s.
