That's sad about Gene. A proper old-school racer, the US riders were tough because of the demands of AMA championship racing.

Have a look on Youtube for the Barry Sheene Daytona documentary about his 1975 crash - as well as being fascinating, Romero appears in it because he wins the 200 and visits Barry in hospital, and they have a very funny chat (mostly taking the pee out of Kenny Roberts).

I've got a nice Ago story which I'll post later ....
