Today in motorcycle history, June 8, 1973

  

 



  Britain's Tony Rutter wins the 350cc Class Isle of Man TT beating Italy's Giacomo Agostini and Finland's Tepi Lansinuori.





  In a career that began in 1969 with the Ulster Grand Prix and just two short years later, in 1971, Tony Rutter found himself to be the British Motorcycle Champion in the 350cc Class. 


  Betweeen 1973 and 1985 Tony would win seven Isle of Man TT Races. Not the kind of guy to be considered a one-Class winner, he would win the North West 200 in the 250cc, 350cc, 500cc and the 750cc Class.
