Mike "The Bike" Hailwood


Here is a video of the great Mike "The Bike" Hailwood.  He was known as "Mike The Bike" and had much success on both two wheels and four.  His Grand Prix motorcycle racing career occurred between 1958 and 1967, and then, during the late '60s and early 1970's, he became a successful car racer.  He is the first of a few riders that will be highlighted on this blog who had success on both two wheels and four. 

There is a video here of Hailwood racing at the Isle of Man TT in 1964 or so.  Check it out.  Also, here's the article on Hailwood from Wikipedia.
