Ago has opened his home and amongst his prize possessions is this helmet from his Morini racing days.

What a lovely piece of history!

Nice! Thanks for sharing!

Very cool. Wouldn't want to rely on that type for safety now days !!

Saw this on FB if anybody missed it? Ago on the Settebello looking very pleased with himself.

There is another early picture of Ago on Jorge Lorenzo's instagram account! Some spat between the two.

Haha yeah, that old chestnut. Who was the best racer ever?
Futile really, different times but racing is racing whatever the era.
Lorenzo certainly is the biggest headed racer!

Just compare the difference in machinery between them for a start - and for real balls, how about this?

Bantam or not, I think this chap still holds the lap record for any bike while smoking a tab.

And I'll bet he was from Lancashire too.

Smoking! Now, that is dangerous

How did he make his woodbine last until Ballaugh Bridge? When and how did he intend to light it? Fabulous picture.

And you can get the Tee Shirt too! http://www.biker-t-shirts.co.uk/smoking_bantam.htm
I have one but no connection to the company.

Probably on his third one as he had to stop so often to fix the thing. Lit it on the glowing exhaust pipe...

Woodbines? My mum smoked these and gave up because it was bad for your health....at eighty eight.
