The 1967 Senior TT race was a battle between two legends. Hailwood on the fast but ill-handling 500 Honda and Agostini on the sweet handling but slower 500 MV. Lap records were broken as both riders pushed each other, themselves and their machines to the limit. By the fifth lap, Hailwood had reeled in Agostini’s slender lead and both riders were neck and neck but the battle was over when Agostini’s chain broke at Windy Corner and Hailwood rode on to victory.
