I never saw him race in anger as I was too young at the time. I did however see him riding around Brands Hatch on a CBX in about 79 or 80. Honda held some kind of open day where the public could get into Brands for free and test ride some of the new bikes. Mike Hailwood took to the track on his own aboard the fully stock CBX, what a sound. It was a freezing cold day, that I do remember!
