Bit hard to make out. Would it be the magnificent John Surtees (75 years young today), the only man to win a motorcycle gp championship as well as a formula 1 championship? (3 x 350cc gp, 4 x 500cc gp & 1 F1)
I heard he had been doing a few demo rides!

+1 for Surtees. He'd feel right at home on those Nortons.

I dunno, Guys. He seems to --well, "buff" to be Surtees....I think.

C'mon, Snake--who is he?

Oh, I dunno, Yamaman---probably any racer would like to be mistaken for John Surtees, don'cha think? Unless, of course, you are Mike Hailwood or Phil Read or Peter Williams..... Laughing
