Hi,
Happy christmas to all !
Here my first guess who ?
I think were is obvious.

Kaw H1R it looks like. Boinet?

Hello T54,
nice to talk to you !
No, not at all.

There were not too many H1R in France, assuming that this was a French rider. I had already left for "better pastures" by that time so I am at a loss, but could it be the unfortunate Ravel? The only "other" I can think of is Eric Offenstadt. You tell us...

This is not a french rider and its a 4 stroker.

Well, THAT takes me out!

Should this perhaps be part of one of the ‘motorcycle racing nostalgia’ threads?

Absolutely !
This ends up here I dont't know why ,
Or should i say yes I know, its because it was my first message and i must have made a mistake somewhere.

Yes but you can try again !
I must have somewhere in my hard-disks a picture of you while you were racing in France taken by my very good friend François Beau.
I shall try to find it next week.

Francois Beau was my friend too but I have not seen him in 37 years... I saw Christian Lacombe in the late 1970's when I went to Daytona with him at the "200" and we saw Barry Sheene explode his tire on the banking at 170MPH... we went to see Barry at the hospital and he was in sad shape but already pinching the nurses butts...

Most of my "good" racing pictures are from racing in the USA I am afraid!

François and his wife Christine have gone to their house in Dakar to spend the winter in the sun.
I shall mention to him this forum and you beeing a part of it in my next mail.
I do wish you and your family a happy new year. I am leaving tomorrow morning and shall be away of my computer till wednesday.
All the best.
