[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 73716, member: 60"] Well I managed to get a couple of shots the better presented Black shadow (47) and the Lightning (15) I did not see the lightning in the race but with a vincent damper at the front and no steering damper vincent or telescopic it was a brave man who took it out. All in all not a good showing for the marque my comments on the event above still stand they have the clout to get the big motorcycle names in but they dont really know about motorcycles history or racing even the commentator kept on about the age of the third placed Rudge he seemed supprised anyone who follows vintage racing knows how Rudges go, heck I saw Merve the Swerve devour TZ350 yamahas in a race years ago. For those who have never been a rising percentage go in period gear (I have worn my blue drape and brothel creepers on occasion) there are small 'events' all around the race ground and paddock , rock bands, dads army look alikes , Mrs mops dressed as char ladies all done very well except the motorcycle crowd where the most pathetic set of old motorcycles with supposedly hells angels pose , It really does need some old British motorcycle clubs to inject some real nostalgia and glamour and original Barbour suits into the scene [ATTACH=full]14800[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]14801[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
