SETTLE A BET
Dear CR As a regular supporter of the Northern Irish road races I feel it is a tragedy that they are under so much pressure in Northern Ireland.
Can you settle a bet for me? I have a £10 wager with my friend who is a regular in Northern Ireland and he maintains that the first year he visited the NW200 in 1968 the class was won by Bill Smith on a Honda from Kel Carruthers second and John Hartle third, both on Aermacchis.
Our wager revolves around the Honda that won, I say it was one of the very rare ER77s, my mate says it was a rare kitted CB350, which was the forerunner of many, many race kitted CB350s which have dominated classic racing since the early 1960s.
Can you tell me which Honda model it was that won the race and if I am correct, I will be £10 better off!
Your magazine is absolutely fantastic and the only race mag worth reading.
