Whenever I see those "Runnin' from the Law" videos on the net it always looks like the offenders are crawling along. Not so the modern bikes on this video. I thought I recognized a few faces in the "classic" portion (Prince of Wales?, Duke?, Ago?) but perhaps someone more knowlegeable could ID some of the bikes and participants.

From the old clips, I thought I say in this order; Stanley Woods, Geoff Duke, John Surtees, Giacomo Agostini, Mike Hailwood. I stand corrected, but I thought I saw a glimpse of Phil Read as well.

Ciao, Steve G.

I think the chance of that is probably low. Similar to your chance of winning a substantial amount in a government lottery. In other words, very very unlikely.
