I was very impressed.
I never saw him race a motorcycle, but I have some records of the Isle of Man which set my imagination loose.

He once said his failure (if you could call it that) to shine on 4 wheels was a result of his inability to set the car up. He actually never understood how to set a bike up either, if certain people are to be believed, but he was able to ride around the problems, which was something very few riders were able to to do.
Mike was seen as the man who could tame any sort of machine given to him, and he proved that with his rides on the MZ´s, which were absolutely awesome, as were his outings on the big Honda, the Ducati and 4 pot Suzukii in the IOM.
He was a definitely a one off.

Dr Watt ? - shocking performances i hear - had difficulty in staying on the circuit .....
Anyway, i think we are moving away from the subject - it's my fault and i apologise.
My only excuse is my youth - as far as the forum is concerned i hasten to add.

I don't know who he is either. Obviously Mike was driving the Surtees car, F2 If I remember, could well have been the year he won the European Championship.

I think it was about '71 when he had a test ride at Mallory on John Cooper's Yamsel, he came back into the pits after about 3 laps and complained: "It's a bit low, isn't it?" The fairing and exhaust were ground away on the right hand side.
Mike could lean a bike further than most in the days when tyre technology was in it's infancy and chassis development was inspired guesswork.
A class act.

Never seen a pic of Mike on a TZ until now. I hate to say anything negative about the great man, but somehow he just doesn´t look at home on that bicycle. I´m sure he was as fast as lightening on it though.
Found the Programme. 19th September 1971, Race of the Year, Mallory. No. 3 Mike Hailwood.
Junior race heat one won by Barry Sheen, 2nd Barry Randle, 3rd Derek Chatterton, 4th Rex Butcher, 5th Barry Ditchburn, 6th Jarno Saarinen, 7th Mike Hailwood, all 350 Yamaha's
Final: 1st Agostini MV, 2nd Barry Randle, 3rd Barry Sheen, 4th Mike Hailwood, 5th Jarno Saarinen.
I think he didn't start the Race of the Year, but we all remember who won that one!
