G'day viewers just thought i'd post this picture it was given to me by a women at my work its from 1952 at brands hatch in England the bloke hanging off the bike is her father Terry and she thinks the riders name was Mac i think oldschool photos look cool and just show just how skilled the riders must have been to handle such heavy equipment at speeds like that.

Timbo did you take any pics from the gold cup ?  I left my camera in the car but you should have seen the Vincent do a display, these bikes has a sidecar ( use the term losely) on the side about the size of a shoe box and a open wheel on an insane angle, there is just enough room for the swinger to let it spin between his nuts.  i had a close lok in the pits and couldnt get my head around how they didnt get there leg  chewed off.  Actually it was that golden fleece outfit and that red LRD thingo , previously posted, its not until you hear em, smell em and see them doing 100 + and see how small that platform is till you can really appreciate them.
