I think it's based on an early 50s 500cc trw.

What a day, rain, rain and more rain. There must have been 300 entries. Most of the bikes were immaculate, or at least they were at the start of the day. It's amazing to see just how capable these bikes are. I saw at least four sidecar outfits flip and I lost count of the solo's that came a cropper. Still, nothing was going to put these guys off.

I didn't get any results at the end of the day and I'm sad to say I missed the last race. I had to leave early as I had to get ready for a shooting comp at Bisley today. Two welsh lads I was chatting to summed up the first race quite well for me. "half way around the world and he wins the first race, f*****G jammy b*****d.

A few more. As ever the event gets bigger and better every year. The track was perfect. The guy standing next to the Cheney BSA is Andy Roberton. He is still mega quick considering he must be well over 60.

Things not going tooo bad for the ausies. Some bloke called Ballard had a bit of a tussle with someone called Chuck Sun in the first race. He must have heard the beer tent was open because he was first across the line in the first race of the day. Chuck retired shortly after being overtaken with slight rear wheel problem. For the first MXDN race Mr Ballard crashed out at the start of the first lap but rejoined a lap down. He was pulling away from the leaders so who knows what might have happened :'(. Heres a few picks of the first race. I will post a load more later.

You have to to see it to believe it. The speed they race around there is just insane. There are no speed limits out of the towns and up until quite recently you couldn't get a speeding ticket but you could be charged with "driving furiously" as I found out! Still, as long as you have a nice bike and act humble the police are the best you'll find anywhere. A good bollocking and away you go.

From experience it comes down to the rider and sometimes good luck more than the equipment or how much money you have. Every one has their own opinions about how authentic a bike should be. For me as long as it's a good example of what it started out as I can forgive the odd new part. The important thing is that people can turn up to events like this and have fun. Some people cant afford to spend thousands on the latest repro or authentic NOS parts. That shouldn't stop them being able to enjoy what they do have. I guess the bottom line is only one person wins a race so the odds are never going to be that good anyway, no matter what you ride. Just turn up, get dirty and enjoy yourself and who gives a f**k about what anyone else has.
