Rossi senior only managed 23rd in the 500cc World Championship that season, but had been placed as high as fifth, in the 1980 title race. Better known as a 250 runner, Rossi should have won the 1979 250 title aboard the factory Morbidelli, but his campaign came apart mid-season.

 In the same issue there is a photograph of a shop window full of helmets which span the range of what was on offer at this time. In the centre is what we would still recognise as a standard "open face" type extending down over the ears. This was a relatively new idea to motorcycling/scootering having originated with fighter pilots, reaching Formula 1 around 1959 and the general public about two years later. To the left can be seen its predecessor, the "Piss Pot" and underneath the standard white "Everoak" beloved of so many regular scooterists. The Everoak (and similarly-styled helmets from other makers) was especially despised by the Mods and it comes as a bit of a culture shock today to see a scooter resplendent with lights and mirrors being ridden by someone wearing such a thing.
Still, in 1963, such considerations were years away - Mods not generally wearing helmets in any case. Mod fashion in a motor cycle magazine? It never happened again!
