I've got a copy of '' Professor'' Baileys book and unfortunately it couldn't teach me how to ride. :-[

He certainly rode with more style once he got older. ;D

Tony T,

Yep, the winners can collect between 9.00am and 10.00am tomorrow.
I cannot guarantee that any alcohol in this house won't be already consumed once it's past 10.00am. (9.00am during summer) ;)

Title: Re: My turn- who's this?

Title: Re: My turn- who's this?
Post by: TT on August 19, 2009, 10:01:59 pm: The 2 in the middle are what I consider 2 of the most famous names in motocross.
One for his riding ability, the other not so much. ;)
Title: Re: My turn- who's this?
Post by: motomaniac on August 19, 2009, 10:04:56 pm: I thought at first Paul Fredrichs but the it didnt make sense because the others are 250 riders.
Title: Re: My turn- who's this?
Post by: motomaniac on August 19, 2009, 10:09:06 pm: Shit its a young Roger De Coster , taken in the year that he rode 250's. Yahooo!

Post by: motomaniac on August 21, 2009, 06:20:43 pm: Its not a Greeves but looks like Dave Bickers anyway - maybe he rode that before the greeves.???????????
Title: Re: My turn- who's this?
Post by: DR on August 21, 2009, 06:58:37 pm: looks like a Rudge to me...

tall but true story time..Rudge..speaking of which I have a great story that was told to me by my scottish engineer neighbor Elwyn Brequet when I was 3 or 4..he was the Chief Inspector of Engineering in QLD at the time. The man was a genius but it didn't dawn on me just how much of a genius until he became old and went senile and I was allowed to visually sift his workshop :o It's about a man and an engine design and how many years after he'd designed this engine he was to hear it riding past a pub at Innisfail NQ. He ran outside to see what it was and there was his design nestled in a Rudge. He designed the motor and although he never saw production he knew exactly what it would sound like. Jeez I wished I'd spent more time with him but I was blessed with the time I had ;)

we'll now return you to your regular veiwing :P
Title: Re: My turn- who's this?
Post by: mainline on August 22, 2009, 06:34:56 pm: motomaniac and Doc, can share this one (great short story too btw Doc). It's Bickers on a 1938 499cc Rudge in 1961, where Dave won a special "vintage" (love the irony ;D) race.

Note the solid rear end and girder forks.

P.S. Dave would be a lot harder to pick if they had fullface helmets back then, his Superman chin gives it away every time. ;D
Title: Re: My turn- who's this?
Post by: motomaniac on August 22, 2009, 08:19:00 pm: Look at how much air he's getting on that thing! Next too no suspension and must be 400lbs but DB is totally cool as he comes down to land that thing!!! :o
Title: Re: My turn- who's this?
Post by: DR on August 22, 2009, 09:45:55 pm: :o my eyesight isn't what it used to be but has Bickers' bike only a single clamp on the bars? must be an illusion..done with mirrors or something :-\ hmmm..just looked again..phark that! I don't like that at all but it doesn't seem to be of any concern and who am I to question..it's all good if you don't look down ;) the guy at right in the dark trenchcoat has the expression that says it all..great pic!
