Thanks Nutz  :).

The scrambles looked as cold and windy as I feel at the mo.

1954 - no pits and no pit tooties - not a woman in sight!!! When men were men.........  ;D

Thanks Nutz, great footage.
EML's right, good quality for the era, some of the old stuff looks sped up but that looks pretty close, they still got around at a fair click on those old beasts.
Loved it.
I hope your Granfather is still with us? looks like he liked the sidecars.
