Mike Hailwood Vid

Hogboy

Street Cruiser
I've searched often for a vid showing an entire Mike Hailwood race and have come up short every time.  A few idle days ago I bounced up against this superb one.

Hailwood on the IoM winning Ducati boomer vs. Phil Read on the factory Honda CB750 vs John Cowie on a Kawasaki 2-stroke triple.  The stage is Mallory Park and it is 1977.  Put on the earphones and listen to the super contrast of these 3 distinct engine sounds - music!!!!

And with that said, here also is the only photo I have seen of Hailwood pulling a wheelie.  Again on the Ducati but this time at the 6 hour race at Bathurst Oz.  http://ts1.mm.bing.net/th?&id=HN.607989785228215681&w=300&h=300&c=0&pid=1.9&rs=0&p=0
