By this time I
was wasting my time trying to compete with a near standard 500 production bike against
RG500s. TZ350s/750s, 900 Ducatis and the like, with average race speeds of 110mph, even
the last of the Bronze Replica winners was averaging over 100 mph down in 19th
place. I then sold the bike. Left: the 1970 T500 Crooks production Suzuki. In its last race at the 1978 Isle of Man Southern 100. |
