I wish I had seen this before last weekend, would have loved to go. I remember going to the speedway tests between England and Australia at Rowley Park as a kid. Fantastic night out.

Can't stop looking at those  JAP speedway bikes! Bloody beautiful. And what about those Vincents!!??? What a magnificent motor. I know a bloke down here that makes them. I reckon $110k plus might get me one.

Yeah Slider, I keep looking at the JAPs and wondering if I could find one, anyway gotta go with what ya got !
I must admit that as a young fella, at the Headquarters, the sound and the fury of four Vinnie oufits into turn one had me transfixed, however EA spells sidecar, DIVORCE, so there ya go , have ridden a skids outfit at Sapphire and pitched Jim outa a short circuit one at Nepean and frightened the daylights outa TD on one at Goulburn Speedway, he jumped off at about 50mph, screamin' ya mad ya old bastard !!

OK, OK, Foss, to the point and I hope ya dont mind Freaky, but here's a couple of photos that illustrate the HRD / Vincent thing.

1949 Vincent / HRD Black Shadow


1952 Vincent Rapide



Shows the difference in the logos, apparently the Yank dealers wanted the name changed because they thought people in the States would get confused between HD and HRD, Hmmm !!

yer some of the old boys get a little keen for the sash.

there was the 2 bump and slots as posted above, i think peter menz did a real crash, and i also saw one chair spin around and the swinger go underneath the trailing outfit, think he just hurt his leg.  But it looked prity ugly as it happend, i though it would have torn his back open.

New Air fence turns up in a weeks time for the "modern season" so that will make the walls a little less daunting in future.

Will post more pics as they come to light, its a really good meeting every year.  Lots of Qld and ex uK league riders come on down, , merv Jenke, nigel sadler and so on.  Gets bigger every year as the old timers saddle up for another tweek.
