Some good ones Deej 8)

The (original) "Green Frame" Paul Smart Ducati's and the Sports Motorcycles Hailwood TT Bike.
The Godier-Genoud Endurance bikes of the mid/late 80's
The Kenny Roberts era Yellow/Black "Speed-block" Yam's
The "Abarth" Yams
The Pepsi RG500's
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....

and the TT ones... a bit of cheating having a rotax 500, but made for great british victories and the JPS was a cool black bike ;)

Now i know why i am finding these questions so difficult to answer.

Its because every Sunday race i watch its norm whilst consuming gallons of red wine, hence why i never remember the result the following day talking to others about it.

Now where were we colours schemes and bikes, ummm will try and watch the GP sober this weekend :lol: :lol:

Errr, when have Norton EVER run a Rotax engine :shock:

I think perhaps you meant Rotary :? The issue of cheating is, and always will be, questionable on a rotary due to the varying size of the combustion chamber. Mazda got away with the same deal with their group C endurance car 8)
