It would be fantastic for those who could meet up in the UK next year. Maybe we should set up something like video conferencing so that all members from across the globe could chat  . |

Great photo of days past Renè, I was there that day with the Dutch man in white Will Hartog leading Bazza Sheene and Kenny Roberts. We were there to see Barry win, but as with all previous years he did not. A huge crowd lined the "real" Silverstone, one had to almost fight to get a prime position anywhere on the circuit it was that full. I am going for another Lorenzo win, just lovin' what he is doing at the moment  . Scott will probably get a Moto2 engine this weekend after his comments about Aprillia last week  . Wil Hartog, 'de Witte reus' (the white giant) as he was called in the Netherlands. A very good rider who won of course the TT in Assen in 1977. I can still remember that and I had a scale model of his Suzuki bike! A nice anecdote: after Hartog won the 1980 Finish Grand Prix, he was congratulated by Stefania, Graziano Rossi's wife who had her 6 month old son on her arm; young Valentino! 
The caption to the photo of Wil Hartog seems to indicate that "MotoGP" - or Grand Prix motorcycle racing - at that time commonly was called TT(!?) I had imagined it to be a Danish "bad habit" to call it TT (since the Isle of Man TT was the only real TT). But TT seems to be the recognized name for "MotoGP" in those times(?)

Mikael, as far as I remember Moto GP was called 500cc back then. Assen was always called the TT. 'De TT van Assen' in Dutch.
