Had a friend whose ambition was to keep his cigar alight whilst waterskiing. Never achieved it to this day and packed up smoking anyway long since!

It must have been normal to ride/race with a smoke in the olden days.

Anyone notice something unusual in this picture?
 
The late, great Barry Sheene used to drill a hole in the front of his full face helmets so he could smoke with it on......

.... Sadly he died of cancer at 52 years old.......

I think no's 1and 2 are "works riders" no2 is fitted with a tax disc.
I love these old photos.
 
I our earlier days, a mate of mine used to light his fags while riding, from the glowing downpipe of his Triumph Tiger Cub which we had fiddled with and tuned. The head had been modded to use Austin 1100 inlet and exhaust valves and a big Amal concentric carb.
