The immortal Bob MacIntyre riding a Gilera 500-4 to the first 100mph lap in the Isle of Man TT Senior race of 1957. He did four of the eight laps at over 100mph, and averaged 101.12 on the fourth lap. This was the last year that dustbin fairings were allowed by the FIM, and they are still banned today in all classes except the TTXGP and TTzero electric races. In 2010 Rob Barber rode the dustbin-faired Agni machine to 2nd place in the TTzero race, the first time that such a fairing had been used in the 53 years since MacIntyre's dustbin-assisted record-breaking win.
