I have been watching with interest various posts and as you seem like a nice bunch of guys just had to join and contribute to this one.

I agree that the Honda six through Glen Helen takes some beating, but the 250 Yamaha Fours through the bottom of Barregarrow with Bill Ivy and Phil Read on board (no rolling the throttle there!) stands out in my memory.
And what about those 50cc Honda twins revving to 22,000!! and the 12 speed Suzuki 50's!!!

I also think that the sounds were much better in morning practice when the air was still, or was it that we were not properly awake?

Thanks for your post Keith,
Strange I think that sat here looking at the screen and the mere mention
of what you (and other contributors) describe, is enough to make you sit back a while and listen to those sounds.

All the 50cc bikes sounded like a swarm of bees with their 22,000 revving engines.
It was so different then with so many different sounding bikes.
I think the answer to the question of morning practice sounding better is down to a bit of both the answers you suggest. Happy days.
