Answer to the last quiz – Rob Sheppard on the Sammy Miller long stroke Honda 305 – As people who have read the book Four-Stroke Finale will know – Sammy always preferred the long stroke engine, and it might have been his stubborn push on this that got him fired from Honda, who went on to build short models for Eddie Lejeune, and Steve Saunders ( Rothmans)
Quite a few guessed it was Rob Sheppard – but only Peter from OZ got it all correct.
Quiz today. Who is this rider and what model bike??
