Thanks Solo!

Roger de Coster was my schoolboy hero, and I still greatly admire him.

And not a Yamaha to be seen?

Mine too! The battles with Bob Hannah that he had in the USA were classic.

Fantastic! I was a Suzuki fan in those days, still is, and the racing was hectic. I far prefer the big, flowing tracks of Europe in the 70/80's to the courses of today[ignoring that today's courses are a

product of superior machinery ]

I would love to get my grubby little paws on a 1976-ish Suzuki RM370. Such beautiful, clean machines if you compare them to today's sticker-kit filled machines.

Wasn't it de Coster who finished a GP with a broken frame it was a classic picture?

Don't remember that, but I do remember how he, before he became famous, punctured a kidney and still rode home 50 miles away on the same bike.

These were tough men.

Its a while back, it may have been Joel Robert he also raced Suzuki.

He started on MZ's, then went on to race Suzuki TM's, and later the RN370's[the RM series for the public]

Dan, are you sure? I would have said CZ not MZ?  I had forgotten the EVIL TM's
