1975 is the first year in the 5s for me in 65 was only three . I remember 75 well , as a sidecar fan it was the last win on a four stroke for the great Shauzu on his BMW in the 1000cc class & the first win for a two stroke with Ralph Stienhausen winning on the 500cc Konig , both bikes a work of art , the sound of the BMW could never be bettered ,Stienhausens Konig was tiny & you felt you could pick it up with one hand . I also remember me & my cousin where at thursday afternoon practice at the QB when we should have been at school & being caught by our teacher ouch ! The QB was a favourite haunt of ours being close to home within walking distance , cant remeber the year think it may have been 76 but once again we where watching there & the white helmets motorcycle display team where doing there Pyramid when the top man fell over the wall into what is now the access road , broke his leg i think , funny at the time but not for him . Anyway back to 75 , it was also the year Grant broke Hailwoods absolute lap record on the Kawasaki. And the great John Williams won the classic race , he was my hero along with Tom Herron , both tragically cut down in there prime . Great days
