We can only guess what it is that Barry Sheene and Graeme Crosby find so amusing about Randy Mamola’s knee sliders in this 1981 assembly area shot. As you can see from the DIY knee protection used by both Suzuki ace Crosby and Yamaha’s Sheene the knee slider generation was still in its infancy, but clearly American Mamola’s radical hang off style called for something a little more substantial. What the image does illustrate is that Grand Prix racing was still a whole lot of fun and while things got serious out on the track, in the paddock even the top riders could still enjoy a laugh and joke.

This poignant shot, taken on one of the dangerous Armco lined bends at the Salzburgring shows just how far safety has moved on in Grand Prix road racing. The two gladiators going at it hammer and tongs, just as they had all of the 1973 season, are Yamaha’s Jarno Saarinen and factory Aermacchi Harley- Davidson rider Renzo Pasolini. In what was a classic confrontation the experienced Pasolini needed all his time-served track craft to run with the rising Finnish ace Saarinen. Just weeks after this shot was taken both riders lost their lives at the equally dangerous Monza, robbing the sport of two of its all time greats.

Outspoken American Kenny Roberts arrived in Europe fearing no one and once on the track it was easy to see why. Captured here during the 1976 Anglo American Match Races, at Oulton Park, Roberts clearly isn’t bothered by an unruly 750 Yamaha and the close proximity of the railway sleepers that line the circuit. Having been brought up on the dirt track ovals in his native USA, neither an excess of power nor a slippery track fazed the tough Californian. Roberts went on to win the blue-ribbon 500 title three times, in 1978/79/80, for Yamaha and after moving on to team management witnessed his son Kenny Junior take the title in 2000 riding for the rival Suzuki team, a feat no other father and son have equalled.

Sheene NNC Slide Suzuki 1976-7-8-9 004
We can only guess what it is that Barry Sheene and Graeme Crosby find so amusing about Randy Mamolaâ€™s knee sliders in this 1981 assembly area shot. As you can see from the DIY knee protection used by both Suzuki ace Crosby and Yamahaâ€™s Sheene the knee slider generation was still in its infancy, but clearly American Mamolaâ€™s radical hang off style called for something a little more substantial. What the image does illustrate is that Grand Prix racing was still a whole lot of fun and while things got serious out on the track, in the paddock even the top riders could still enjoy a laugh and joke.
