1960's UK drag bikes

I have just loaded some more classic photos from 40 years ago, to the
motorcycle drag-racing section of www.oldstox.com

The main site is 90% devoted to stock car racing, but just click on
the "1960s UK drag racing" link.

"Those were the days." All-black leathers, oil leaks, skinny tyres,
and a strict do-it-yourself attitude were the order of the day.
Enjoy!

Some fantastic pictures there.

The Dutch parallel twin is based on a Triumph bottom end and built from the
bottom up, I`m actually looking at a picture I took at Pod of the other side
of the bike showing the blower/belt etc.

BJ is a sort of icon/hero of my brothers son.(and of mine;-)

"Imperial Wizard" was a work of art. Anyone that can get a Yam FJ to break
200mph is a spanner-God.

Enough of the hero worship;-)

I`ll post the url for the righthand image soon as I scan and publish it.
Nick it and add it to your pictures.

Brian J deep in thought before he takes off on the successor to the
"Imperial Wizard" the aptly named "Purple Princess".

**** PETE, your website is great --- the uniquely English combo of
motorbikes and angling! I look forward to your shot of Imperial
Wizard.
