I have it. If I remember right (and I haven't watched it for a good 6 months or so), it is a whole lot of interviews of some of the guys from back in the day like Pomeroy, Howerton, Smith, Jones etc. It was recorded at a US vintage meet and also includes some great footage of these legends riding vintage bikes in either race or 'demo' race format. Overall it gets the big thumbs up from me.

Great show, my wife even watched it, and she's not all that interested in old bikes. I'm pretty sure it's still available, I might even have one in stock.
Cheers,

Ellis rode in the over 40 Vets at a big meeting at Manjimup just a few weeks ago.

It was Vets on modern bikes, not sure what he was riding.
Isn't Nascar dead and buried in this country?
