Liking them mate, especially the Le Mans always wanted one of those.
Bit of nostalgia how bikes and styles have changed.
One of them pics wasn't at the old burtonwood air base near Warrington?
Excellent. That Guzzi looks hard as nails!
Selling my Mk1 Le Mans is one of the few regrets I've had over the years, it had been built for the TT, 1000cc big bore, 40mm Dell Orto's with accelerator pumps, deep sump and Dunlop KR124 front and Endurance rear "not for road use tyres", but it was never raced. I sold it to Eddie Roberts when he had his shop in Birkenhead.
I had a couple of 350 LCs when they came out, one with the Pro Am fairing kit, imitation clipon bars with the clock protectors, and chrome Allspeed spannies, it was a lot of fun, odd handling and poor brakes. The other was in Kenny Roberts yellow.
That was over thirty-odd years ago, I feel old :-(
Cool pics :moto:

Mate you feel old. I was throwing those big buses about in the late 70s, around race tracks in the North of England.

The one with airplane hanger, is an old airfield track, Silloth in Cumbria. It Closed in 1982 after Gerry Hislop was killed racing a 350cc Yamaha at the track.

In 1991 he travelled to Europe from the USA to compete in the Grand Prix motorcycle racing series. He rode for former world champion Kenny Roberts on a satellite team aboard a Yamaha. He finished a respectable 9th in his first year on the Grand Prix circuit. He accepted a job from Suzuki in 1992 finishing 5th overall, only just behind experienced team-mate Kevin Schwantz, who he had beaten a few times. He spent 1993 and 1994 riding for the Cagiva team.

He won two AMA Superbike and two 600 Supersport rounds and finished second to his factory Honda teammate Duhamel in both. He even scored a surprising podium finish in the American round of the World Superbike Championship at Laguna Seca.
