historic racing doesn't finish in 1962, and if you reckon what's racing these days in that period bears any resemblance to what was around then, you've got rocks in your head.
Show me one copy of the guilfoyle BSA, the Henderson Matchless, Arthur Pimm's Vincent, Jeff Curley's rigid Triumph. Every bike in P3 has 18 inch wheels, and MK2 Amals. It's supposed to be 'Historic racing' not burning around on supermodified old bikes which bear no resemblance to anyhing authentic.
The original intent in 1973 was to preserve a bit of history.
Allan, I reckon my memory is a lot better than yours.
Where is the Bill Patterson CR750, or the Mussett Triumphs? That's what racing was about in the 60s (period 4) . All that stuff is so outclassed these days noone will bother to race it. |
Is your machine authentic or merely eligible? |
