I'm surprised no-one has mentioned SILVER DREAM RACER.

On second thoughts, no I'm not, it was cr@p.

I was at Silverstone for the errr.... 1978 (79?) British Grand Prix when
they filmed the lap of honour track scenes for 'Silver Dream Racer'. The guy
on the PA system asked us to kindly wave and clap at the pickup truck going
past with the cameras on the back. Of course, bikers being bikers, if you
look closely there are an awful lot of white bums sticking out of leathers
waving at the cameras! BTW, it was a awesome race; Kenny Roberts pipped
Barry Sheen by half a wheel length. When they did they lap of honour
together everyone *did* go wild and wave :)

Barry (with a twinkle in his eye reminiscing and feeling old!)
MMI BRG ST 0.9k km (off for its 1K service tomorrow where hopefully they'll
fill the shaking quivering 3000-3500rpm hole with something... preferably
some smooth power..... If I'd wanted my Trumpet to shake I would have bought
a Bonnie!)
