This race was stopped after six laps,when swiss rider Peter Huber (suzuki No46),at race speed ran into the rear of touring Irish rider Norman Brown (suzuki No42) at stowe corner. Both riders died instantly.Crossed oil flag and caution flag were displayed,which meant race was stopped, which the British riders recognised as stop.But the American riders were not familiar with this flag display,because in America a red flag was displayed at Marshal points for a race to be stopped,which now happens at any racing event across the World.I was standing at Club corner and witnessed this crash,it was horrific,both riders lost their helmets.The race was rerun two hours later as a aggregate race which Kenny Roberts won overall.

I was at the race that year and watched from Copse. Usually I watched from the mighty Stowe Corner and I am glad I didn't this time. King Kenny and Fast Freddie were both brilliant.

Silverston was such a fast circuit!

Loved King Kenny, the main man! Good to see a young Eddie Lawson or a younger Eddie I should say

also to transfer the weight centre to the side in order to keep the bike more upright & help corner.

to know where the tarmac is/how far they are leaning & push themselves up in case they lost their grip :)

Very nostalgic viewing. I was in Woodcote grandstand for that race and remember it well.

Stick to the sewing and gardening buddy!!!!!

The knee gets put out as a guide so the rider knows how far his bike is leaned over. Many riders will slightly raise the knee just after it touches. Riders have also saved a crash by holding the bike up with their knee until they can get the front tire back under them.
