I have a recording of a 500 cc V-8 Guzzi (it may have been a MV) with John
Surtees aboard at the Isle of Man Gran Prix from the 50's. It was breaking
the tire loose as it progressed through the gears. It is truly a beautiful
sound. Especially awesome considering it was racing against Norton Manx
single cylinder jackhammers.
