Awesome mate that was a trip back in time alright wish it was still like it

Excellent video!!! Like Yorkie said it was a trip back in time. Shame so much has changed. I'm just glad I was able to be there for some of it.

Thanks gents....that's what I like about Facebook, stuff like this that folk care to post up is sometimes very interesting, entertaining and informative.

Nice image of you Hoofheart on the classic...Norton? or bitsa?

I actually remember the roads being like that as I had my licence when I was 17 in 1976.

Thanks NoRiders. It was (and still is) Norton bitza. It started life as a Model 50. I put a Manx engine in it and had a lot of fun. Its out in the garage now with a Weslake Speedway engine in it. I broke the Manx at a time parts were thin on the ground. But the Manx is alive again and living in a friends Norton. I moved home to California and the Norton became a land speed racer. Currently holds its class records at El Mirage dry lake.

That's soo cool Hoofer 8)
