Amazing photos. You can bet your bottom Irish dollar that I will be taking the mickey out of Sammy when I next speak to him.
Sammy was my manager in the factory Honda trials team in the early seventies, and we shared many moments together, mainly bad, but some good. Ah but he wasn't married to his present wife in those days, he's a smashing bloke nowadays.
So relieved that he got away with the up and over. I crashed my TD2B there in the 1975 Manx. Still have the lump in my wrist!
