[QUOTE="chankly bore, post: 159844, member: 317"] I must have been about thirteen. A mate down the end of the street had an Ariel Huntmaster. One of his neighbours was an old Speedway rider called Peter Castles. One Sunday afternoon Mr. Castles hung a Black Shadow together from pieces he had in his backyard shed. I'd never seen or heard anything like it before. The only thing I noticed was BIG, BLACK and NO FRAME. With no helmet Mr. Castles revved the thing, snicked it in to gear and roared off. The thing really did seem to rear back on the back wheel! By the time he'd strung it out in second gear he'd disappeared over a small hill and out of sight (but not out of sound.) Later on we were to acquainted with Ray McGrath, whose Speedway outfit was always in the forecourt of the local Caltex servo. [/QUOTE]
