Lynda's old man just had a couple of old slides put onto a disc from his racing days that i thought i would share

Racing...




His own FF from back in the day...



And finally him and his wife, Margret side car racing

Great pics, and bikes did not come any better than the Vincent.

Nice Photos.

Still has the Vincent tut, however it is in bits in his garage as he has yet to start the rebuild he start about 10 years ago

Not an expert, thought it might be a Black Shadow at first, but probably not.

Its a Vincent Comet tut as the only bikes he raced was that plus the Norton.

Does not compute Mike. The Comet was a single cylinder, that is definitely a twin.

My Uncle had one of these .......and it's a Black Shadow

Its a Vincent White Shadow. The bike he has in his garage is a Velocette Venom and the blue bike in the pics is a Vincet Commet 500 Racing

Good site....

Ah so, mix up with pics.

Loved the Velocette Venom, was not into bikes in my younger days, cars from the start, but my mates had a Venom with that fishtale exhaust, and a Norton Dominator 99. Lovely looking classic bikes.

My first Irish Road Race, Kilinchey 150, on the Dundrod circuit circa '77...

Bike is a TZ 349 A..put it on a train from Johnstone to Stranraer and Bill Simpson gave me a lift across to Dundrod in his van.

Tom Herron won the main event..Joey won the 250 and 350 events.

Take care..
