[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 35088, member: 60"] Something in "another place" jogged my memory and I thought I would share it on this forum: Just down the road from Halton Bucks towards Tring is a road junction [url]http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Halton+bucks&hl=en&ll=51.789188,-0.715013&spn=0.013087,0.026736&sll=53.335479,-2.698836&sspn=0.200497,0.42778&hnear=Halton,+Buckinghamshire,+United+Kingdom&t=m&z=15&layer=c&cbll=51.789256,-0.71489&panoid=GYcgZwi0I8IylA25K3u-XQ&cbp=12,152.25,,0,6.84[/url] non-descript leading to the Chilten hills it was there on the 25th Feb 1925 that Mc Lennan made the first Competion entry for an HRD (Page 29 "HRD Motorcycles") I lived 6 miles from there and 2 miles away lived Ron Kemp and at a pub half a mile away in a shed the first Velocette foot change was developed one night before a hill climb. many times I ridden a Vincent up that hill well worth a Rally I would have thought -the name of the hill? Well car fans may know it Aston Hill something to do with a Martin.... In a month time another Chiltern hill is being used in anger the KOP hill climb at Princes Risbough I shall be riding a pre war bike because I get 2 days rides no its not an HRD if I had one it would be.
