Post 10, agreed.
For me however, it was at Crystal Palace and Brands Hatch; plus once, in 1964, the I.o.M. Memories. Mike

No, it's a B24 Empire Star, girder rigid but not too heavy.
Great bike, best thing I own - the only vehicle I won't part with. |

very nice. ah the beauty of the long stroke engine. i bet without these early pioneering beauties we would never have seen the goldstar. a friend of mine had one and told me he had to slip the clutch in first up to 40 M.P.H ....
