But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Looks more like a harness racing drivers hat to me.

Is there any course that would let him on with that?  it doesn't seem to be remotely protective.

Depends if he has a good fake DOT sticker or not. ;)

 The guy on the Vincent is a journalist. The article appeared in an issue of Performance Bikes some time in the early to mid 90's. The first racer to regularly get his knee down was the great Jarno Saarinen, who was an ex ice racer, hence the technique. A certain K.Roberts watched him racing in 1972 or thereabouts, and adopted the style himself.

Yes, Duct Tape was around in the 50's. That's how we held that old British junk together. In fact Duct tape was invented by 3M for use in WWII (40's). It was originally called Duck tape and was Olive Drab in color. After the war people used it for everything including taping ducts, hence, the peacetime name of Duct Tape.

A little history from an old guy.

duck tape was first made by Johnson & Johnson in 1941 or 42 for the war effort.. 

3m invented adhesive tape in the 20s.
