50's/60's modified Catalina GP racers/desert sleds/scramblers/flattrackers etc
« on: June 11, 2011, 04:52:12 pm »
OZVMX boys & girls if you have any stories, articles, pictures, memories, memorabilia, footage etc of factory race or privateer specials bikes raced in the 1950's and 60's in events like the Catalina GP, US desert races, scrambles, oval track etc please share them here. I'm particularly interested in the homebuilt race bikes cobbled together with what was available, often by the riders themselves. when men were men and bikes were bikes. -Nick

When men were men and you didn't need poofy rear suspension  ;D

I think the spirit still lives on in US Flattrack and Hill Climb racing/
