Old porn movie music...

I met klamforth at a Gunstock vintage race..he autographed a t shirt 4 me..he came close to winning 4 times!

Sounds like Miles Davis

Odd no mention of the tragic loss of Texan Rusty Bradley ( on the Boston Cycle sponsored Kawasaki H1R) on the first lap. Guess it's because this was a BSA promotional production.

Could've Sworn Gary Nixon's Permanent AMA # Was 9!?! Anyway, He Won It In '67 On A Triumph. Read His Book A Hundred Times!

I wonder what those beautiful motorcycles sounded like?

Cool video 👍

Paul Smart taught us in America, Hanging Off. Racing with Hailwood, who rode in the classic square on upright style. At the 200s in this era, we would also see Yvon Du Hamel run off and hide on his Yamaha RD-350cc Two stroker. A 150 mph lap of the oval. I was happy to have my cousins SEARS Gilera 124GT bike to ride around the VAST infield spectator area. As during the 24Hours, 1964 -1973. He road his Ducati Diana 250 Mk. II road racer which people LOVED the sound of, that long tapered megaphone, at 10,500... No need for a TAG and there was not much traffic to worry about. Later running the bikes on the beaches, I saw 74 mph, flat out He 112 on the Duke. Beaches where speed records were set.... Everyone was friendly Generous, to us youngsters.... As at Sebring Missed since 1973. Sorry I never had my 1967 Aermacchi H-D 250 Sprint there 1970-1975 Orlando, up I-4, was about as far as I cared to go on an afternoon And the Gilera was just PERFECT for the infield... As had been my $50 1956 H-D 165cc Hummer 1966-1968. Trailered there and to Sebring, in those earlier years... J.C. Age 72 Once a parts stripper at John Lovengreen's Cycle Savage, north Tampa! FORZA FERRARI

Who scored the music for this. A monkey with a bongo and a stick?

Wonderful, thank you 🙂👍❤️

Thanks for posting (apart from the ridiculously distracting background music !) A great race and good to see British riders Mike Hailwood and Paul Smart competing in this American classic and leading the way until mechanical problems intervened. RIP Mike (March 1981) and sadly now Paul (Oct 21) both due to road traffic accidents.

It would have been much better to hear the open mega howl of the triples that that awful music!

Check out the crowds compared to now.

Jarno Saarinen and Gregg Hansford . Ain't nought better , I reckon and damn everyone elses eyes .

Ridiculous music ruins it🙄

Cool history....!!

Do you know what the colour is called, or have a paint code?

Lol not seen this in 25 years . Told my daughter it has farting music. Ha ha

World at their feet and Edward Turner would not invest new CNC MACHINES!!

Krause Honda Yoshimura Fisher CR750

Daytona 200 the biggest race of them all ... errr I think not ... next to the IOM TT its a walk in the park ...

I attended Bike Week in '71 with my dad. The cheesy music and narration reminds me of those times. We had a really good time.

Triumph/BSA Rob Norths, still being raced today.

that plug at 0:29 looks like my '67 T100 Tone plugs before i got new rings and valves! Great film, incredible soundtrack - for a Crime movie. Open face helmets, smoke SMOKE, pretty girls having to kiss stinky greasy place-getters, I would kill for a set of those Triumph leathers, and finally - my wife noted - and EVERYONE in the stands was watching, no mobile phones. Amen.

My wife and I were there, watched from the infield. I wasn't aware R. Bradley had lost his life from falling off the Kaw. H1-R until I read it in the magazines later. Witnessed some incredible riding including Cal Rayborn drifting his Harley from both wheels on the infield turns. Yeah, this was "hip" music in the day (soundtrack) and not the best edited film, either.

The funniest things about this, especially to those of us riding Honda CB750's, was that BSA/Triumph had every expectation of winning the 200..with one of "their" riders. Joke being that they had done a documentary LAST year (1970) when they also expected to win...but didn't. Got beat by.....a Honda ridden by Dick Mann. And yeah, the "artsy" music wasn't what enthusiasts would've wanted but this piece wasn't for them. The real crime was that the 1970 winning Honda was MUCH closer to the bike sold on the street than the BSA/Triumph triple roadracers. Which didn't sell nearly as well as the Honda. We later found out that via Rob North, the designer/frame builder of the BSA/Triumph Triples had very similar geometry to...the 1985 Suzuki GSXR's aluminum frame. So the Brits were on to what was to be the next revolution of motorcycles but yet again seized defeat from the arms of victory with the Trident and Rocket 3....

whose idea is the really dumb ass music?

Young 21 year old rider Rusty Bradley was killed in this race in a very early accident. A couple others got involved but were uninjured. Sad loss. Kid had talent. RIP Rusty

<< The worst soundtrack I have ever had to listen too.>>> So true - Plain silly, instead of the sounds of the race -- Irritation beyond belief! -

It's amazing how much those older bikes sounded like random notes on a trumpet.

i was there!

The worst soundtrack I have ever had to listen too. In fact I couldnt I had to turn it off, its that maddening. You should use this music to torture people after 30mins they will tell you everything you need to know.

Isn't it amazing to hear such beautifully spoken English?

Good film but awful soundtrack. I thought there were some British riders? The commentary seems to have largely ignored them...

Hi John, great film but diabolical music! Tom

I think this kind of music is just right for this film, it´s all original style.. thanks for posting!!!

Great to see my dad on his outfit

Yes, I agree about the soundtrack...it would have been much better to just hear the bikes. The goofy "cool baby, cool" music sounds like something from a porno movie soundtrack. However, soundtracks like this were quite popular back in those days.

sound track instead of actual race sounds is asinine!

I would love to see your photos. I raced a Rob North years ago and am huge fan of thes great bikes

Nice video. Shame about the crap "hip" music that some film makers thought was trendy back then.
