I was too young to see Big John race (started following F1 in 1967/68), but I was fortunate enough to see him at Assen during the first Centennial TT in 1992(?).
A lot of world champions were there and many rode or raced the bikes they won their championships with, but none so as John Surtees on his Norton-500.
He really flew over the TT-circuit of Assen, a lot faster than anybody else and riding so clean and easy... it looked effortless.
I became a fan right there and then and I still have a good picture of him in action that day. Memories...

RIP

A great performer. I saw him many times over the years. He always put on a fantastic show. He will be greatly missed.

American actor, writer, dancer and stuntman who appeared in numerous TV shows and movies during the 60s and 70s most notably as Spock's rival Stonn in the Star Trek episode "Amok Time".

If Leonard Nimoy had won the Mission Impossible role he'd auditioned for, Montaigne would likely have taken the role of Spock.
