Lou,
I guess the "heroes" we met in our youth, when THEY were at the high of their carreers, are slowly slipping away.
It WAS easy to slip into the paddock, pits or riderpark in the 70's and meet the guys behind the guys and actually see them work.
Attending gatherings the past years and recognizing them brought more smiles than telling Marco about the beers we had in a Imola pub
May Nobby wrench in peace
ciao
