You need stronger glasses. His name is on his back and the number plate has KR.

Got glasses. Need a bigger monitor. When I looked at the post I was only seeing the top two images - not the bottom one.

And I'm lazy as .... in early morning.

I've always had a soft spot for the Rothmans Hondas.

Or this one the Masaki Okamoto’s illustration of the legendary Honda RC181, the 500cc GP machine that Mike Hailwood won the Isle of Man TT in 1967.

Thanks boy’s but I have a very soft spot in my heart for the great Mike Hailwood and Baza Sheene who was my idol as a kid the man was a legend and is a legend always!!! These are just some of his greatest and not so greatest moments especially at Daytona 1975 crash at 280kms. And that Honda RC181 is just ... on two wheels when you consider it was a 1967 machine.



Long live Baza Sheene you will always be missed and remembered!!!
