Christian Lacombe took a wonderful picture of you and Bill Copson catching air aboard your BMW at the 1969 TT. Do you remember what was going through your mind at that instant? "Yes, hoping we wouldn't lose the sidecar nose entirely. The plexiglass screen of the sidecar nose had cracked and the vibration had started to spread so much, that it split the sidecar nose floor (the "pan") as well, so that started to dangle off. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, but that's where the battery was, so the last one and a half laps of the race was spent with me holding the battery in place, as half of the floor beneath the battery was broken off and held in place only by about 2" of fibreglass.. Oh, the fun of it all.. :-)" Read more about Dane Kurth (born Rowe) here, with true stories about Barry Sheene, Lemmy Kilmister, old Roman coins, etc! (the hi-res picture was found over there)
