[QUOTE="Pete X, post: 168445, member: 5563"] [B]More from the Family Photo Albums.[/B] My parents were into bikes all their lives, Vincents in particular, and raced a Norvin twin sidecar outfit for many years. Croft was their local circuit. I'm now sorting old photo albums so if anyone has any history about any of the bikes or knows where they are now I'd love to hear from them. Most photos will have been taken around Tyneside as that has always been the family home. Outfit #16 Date before 1968 ? (the Ford 105E Anglia was sold around 1968) [ATTACH]55979[/ATTACH] Outfit #151 Location Gateshead (the bike was kept in the back garden - no garage!) Date approx 1965 [ATTACH]55980[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]55981[/ATTACH] Outfit #15. It looks like this is the same fairing as above but with the lower section cut for clearance / cooling around the front wheel (so later than the 1965 photos?) [ATTACH]55982[/ATTACH] Mid 1970's we had a family chat, Dad had been offered a Vincent race outfit for £300 but buying it would have used our family holiday fund. It wasn't an easy decision but we had our annual holiday abroad and never bought the Vincent. More to follow - maybe :) [/QUOTE]
