At the end of 1972 the Dutch Photographer Jan Heese, who was at that time Yamaha's "House" Photographer, took a lot of pictures for the coming season.

Jan Heese took this very nice picture of Jarno and his wife together with yours truly near the river Amstel in Amsterdam. That TX750 is the bike I rode in the very first long distance test to Switzerland. But that is a different story!

In Salzburg, Austria, the weather conditions were apalling, But Jarno won again both the 250 cc class and the 500 cc class in a convincing style. Absolutely nobody could get near him.

In Japan, Winter 1972; we went to Japan not only for testing but also for Publicity. many brochures and other advertising material were made for the 1973 season. How tragic that that ended so cruelly.

In Japan, Winter 1972, I took the pictures, they are actually color slides, but after nearly 40 years they are difficult to transfer to modern quality.
