Brillant commentary ......this guy knew what he was saying.

i still have 2 of them a 1970 and a 1969 the 1970 has electronic ignition and the 69 had points and condencer. the only problem is i burried them in 1988 along with a couple yamaha rds in 1988 i may dig them up and make a utube vidio

Our British indigenous brilliant rider's 🥋♥️🙏

Mike the Bike. Says it all I reckon 🇦🇺👍

wow amazing

Hailwood tucked in. No Motogp legs out theatrics.

I used to go to Mallory and the other circuits nearby from about 1959. Remember all the greats, Bob Macintyre, Derek Minter, Hailwood, Read and of course the three wheelers, Bill Bodice, Chris Vincent etc. Great times.

Those days were glorious - lots of racing for fans to enjoy - high quality too. The Transatlantic stands out in particular, held of course at Mallory, Oulton, and Brands. Easter isn't the same these days....

John Cowie was pretty impressive too.

I think I'm in the crowd there somewhere. Bought a Suzuki X7 from Hailwood a year later.

Mike the bike, no other rider will ever compete at his level retire for so long come back and just take up where he left off, the winner !

No knee-down, hanging off the bike in those days!

Worthless comment. That guy must have mentioned the order of the first three 2000 times. He went no further.

I was at that meeting, wow. Thanks for sharing.

Sound?

Also the iconic motorcycle poster of the time was Mike shot from behind on the factory 6cyl. Honda. Classic form.👍👍👍

I saw Mike race here in the Post TT and Race of the Year races as well as him racing F3000 car. Memories to treasure

Great to see Reid the cheater getting stuffed 😂😂

I saw Mike race the 250 and 350cc Hondas in Cape Town a long long time ago. The greatest of them all.

Και τοιχο να ειχε μπροστα του θα τον τρυπαγε ο Ducatos❤🌹👋

The Master at Work Mike-He Came, He Saw, He Conquered!

Can Anyone Digitalise this Short Great film of Mike????

Picture the scene, you're 38,haven't raced in years,and you win this,and the tt!

So good that footage such as this exists for us to continue to marvel at Mike's incredible skills. Such a tragedy to be killed together with his young daughter in a traffic accident. RIP 'Mike the Bike'

The MASTER at work. There will never be another like him - ever.

Was there! No rider better!

Whats the distracting crap at the top left side

Hailwood was a fantastic rider but also he will always be on the best machine because his father was a millionaire

*I well remember the Race of the Year at Mallory Park September 1964, and long after the race had finished and the crowds had gone, asking a Marshall if I could drive my car (Citroen DS19) around the circuit, he said better ask Mike (Hailwood) and directed me to him. I asked Mike, who I had briefly met a number of times before, and he said of course you can, and told the Marshall to let me through the top gate (Near Hairpin) - He said come back after we are having a bit of a Party with Chris Barber later. Did two/three laps and then went back. Mike appeared genuinely pleased to see me again and asked how I got on. Had a good laugh together as we found had a lot of common interests (3 years older than me and born on the same date 2nd April) and had been to the Belgian Grand Prix the previous year in my Morris Minor 1000. Stayed until late with many of the riders and "Chris Barber & his Jazzmen" playing. Imagine that today, the pits were open and you didn't need a fancy pass to get in. I was very keen on Jazz Bands, and in fact had an Acker Bilk Beard at the time, and was often mistaken for him ! (Maybe Mike thought I was "Acker") Still got the Program Price 2/6p and signed by many riders then including Phil Read, Jim Redman, Mike Duff, Bill Ivy etc Incidentally Mike Won the race on the MV Agusta and was £1000 richer. Huge amount in those days. So no wonder he was happy. He held the 350cc Lap Record from 62-64 at 84.93 mph and the 500cc Lap record at 53 seconds 91.70 mph in 1962*

Mike the bike.❤❤❤❤❤❤

It would be much easier to understand what's happening if you could describe what you're doing - it's hard to follow the cursor much of the time.

Best rider ever I think,he had the ability to jump onto to any motorcycle and win on it

The Moto Guzzi has been my dream bike since I was young. it's very beautiful.

"Promo sm" 😭

What is with the 'fluttering crap' top left of the image. what nonsense, added nothing to the image other than an annoying distraction!

einfach ein geiles Teil....

fat finggers, should say Albany!

No sound?

Merci beaucoup pour ta vidéo, elle m'a bien été utile. Même si je pense que j'aurai trouvé tout seul, tu m'as fait gagner un temps certain, merci encore

This was pre-Teflon of course but Mike always hated to put a knee down.

And again !

Un vrai Pilote , une vrai Moto " Forza Italia" A real rider, a real Bike "Forza Italia"

Mike the Bike what a rider a champion of champions In all my years still have not seen a ride than can match him .

The auto translate on this is funny as f##k. I have seen 4 different names for Mike Hailwoid already and only at lap 4. Mike Howard My hair would is the best. And Mike on the Katie. "Genious"

Great bikes

THE master

Yes brought a tear to my eye too, the sound of those bikes was superb. Mike was truly a genius of a rider.

Really sorry Mike met an early demise; one hell of a rider!

Awesome sound 👍🏽
