Lapsina ajeltiin polkupyörillä kilpaa tt-ajoja kupittaan liikennepuistossa.. Joku oli vuorollaan Saarinen ja toinen Agostiini ja Länsipuro...yms polvet ja kyynerpäät ruhjeilla. Viikon kuluttua kun ruhjeet oli "parantuneet" niin kupittaan tt-ajot taas kutsui pihan poikia❤
Muistan kun ensimmäisen moottoripyöräni 90cc kawasakin tankkiin liimasin vuonna 1972 keväällä tarran, jossa oli marlboro mainos ja Jarno Saarisen nimi. Moottoripyörän annoin erääseen museoon suomessa.. Jarno oli legenda, kuten Tepi Länsivuori, Heikki Mikkola ja monet, monet muut 🇫🇮:en moottoriurheilun nimet
Uno dei più grandi piloti...purtroppo e morto troppo giovane...ma resta nel cuore di chi seguiva la gare di moto..in quegli anni...come me..che oggi ho 64 anni...ma mi ricordo chi era....
1973 Monza a tragic day with lives cut short this was a painful reminder of how little regard there was then for riders safety the race should never have been run until the oil spill was cleaned up and there was no official warning of the track condition less then 2 months later after another fatality the circuit was closed down until 1981. Jarno was a genuine phenomenon his ice racing background having a bearing on his riding style I think but this was a time when MV had been dominating the 350 and 500 classes for some years and it was exciting that a relative unknown was challenging them this was the start of the 2 stroke era of course and as much as this moment was thrilling I really missed MV when they was not there anymore in fact Jarno's death and MV pulling out were two shocking racing milestones for me. I always wished I could channel Jarno's spirit when I was racing unfortunately this never happened he had more talent in his little finger then I had in my whole body, lol.
I saw Hailwood. The GOAT. Jarno his closest rival to that title. Utterly mind blowing. Remember him taking his baby on a lap of honour around Mallory. UTMOST respect to the man. An honour to have seen him
Ha ha I was there.. He was truly amazing and I'm privileged to have seen him.. RIP GREAT man. Like many other flying Finns.. Be very proud of your great heritage, truly must have produced more world class racers than any other nation. Yarno certainly was one of them. 🇫🇮🇫🇮 A huge fan from,🏴🏴 I was one year older than him and the early 1970s seem like a long time ago but never forgotten.
Jarno Saarinen. Mannen jag såg upp till när jag började köra motorcykel. En riktig vinnare och en fin man att ha som förebild när man var ung. R.I.P. Jarno Saarinen. Du har alltid varit min idol och förebild.
