A chance encounter while browsing youtube.

I was good friend of this lad's father. Traded bikes and ran a local engineering works. Now deceased.
Not good quality, unfortunately. In 2 parts. No.11 the one to watch for.
Part 1 shows close racing.
Part 2, watch that outfit slide around those bends. Happy memories.

And part 2

This one features lots of "my" roads.
These chaps on BMWs. Burgman just as well, or even better suited.
EDIT - They must be Southerners. Their reactions to "our" Northern scenery is a bit OTT.

Sidecar racing is crazy.

It gets into the blood.
This bloke was fearless. (Tho' the sport did do for him).

Don't know where these vids have been hiding.

Speaking of Scotland my favorite show on Netflix right now is Still Game. I'm afraid I use the English subtitles as not to miss what is being said. Actually the two main actors are younger then me in real life. I guess if your laughing, you can relate.

I like that he has some style to his creations and the way he executes them.
I did cringe when he put the plugs down on the paintwork

That Velocette conversion could be a factory bike. Bet Velocette wish it had been.
