First tome I came across Roger was at Silverstone in 1972????
I think he was riding a BMW????

I passengered the ex Roger Dutton BMW in the late 70's. It was owned and raced by Allan Jorden. Chris Fenton helped Allan to restore the bike to its former glory and then passengered him for a while. They took the bike over to the 79 TT and Roger rode it in the parade. I know Allan moved to the island and I heard that the bike was sold to a collector (ie someone who hides treasures, so that no one else can see them)
