Classics of the


Now this is a classic, and beautifully prepared

 

As is this - perhaps the most famous "Racer" of the era.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now I thought this is was Rudge but I have been corrected by Graham Proctor who informs me "is in fact a Velocette. That weird and wonderful shaped timing chest known as the "Map of Africa" for obvious reasons, and the bike is a 250 MOV or a 350 MAC. Cheers Graham!

 

Here we have Richard Cobb on Simon Duff's Triumph at Gurston

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well here is a splendid machine (Well as it's mine I'm a little biased) For those of you with eagle eyes it's a Triumph Trophy motor in a Ducati 250 frame - the tank? an early 250 Yamaha

 

Now - this is a beautiful machine! fantastically prepared and very photogenic A problem though, It's not eligible for the classic class as it's a little on the young side and that disc excludes it I'm afraid

 

 

As it does with our newsletter editor, John Woods Weslake, which I kid you not he really knows how to ride - in this he takes after his father

 

 

 

And this is Andrew Bennet on "Phobos" a 1000 JAP motor beautifully prepared and ridden by a master (Well I can't get anywhere near him - how about you?)
