Title: Britten Fest (not VMX)
Post by: Marc.com on February 02, 2015, 01:41:08 pm
Went to Pukekohe on the weekend and took in a pair of Brittens going about, not VMX but big booming Vee Twins

Quite a spectacle in the flesh, I hear they are getting as many as possible to Ruapuna for the Bears meeting. I interviewed Stroud once some years ago and he told me "off the record" at some length how and why he thought they'd have had much more success with a conventional front end, interesting.
Yes, not vmx but any bike fan will find plenty to drool about in looking round these babies.
And they go.... 8)

These are the only 2 being used at the moment, the USA one is insured for USD 800,000

I like that Stroud will still wheel stand the length of the main straight on it. They have a bit of a dirt heritage as some of the inspiration came from the Denco speedway engines.

Anyway good day out lots of McIntosh Manx Nortons and other goodies.
