These are some pictures of my dad when he was racing in the early 60's... The manx Norton he had was second in the junior TT 1958 Dave Chadwick had raced it for Reg Derdon. Dave was unfortunately killed at Mettet Belgium 1962.
anyway thought these would look great on the blog.
also just thought you would like these
Here is what my dad is riding now at age 69
Anthony Groucutt Norton Commando 850
Hand made petrol tank, oil tank, engine plates, exhaust pipes and seat. Also hand made are the brackets, gear linkages incet manifolds and also modifications to the 1960 featherbed frame. The engine is an 850cc Commando, crank balanced, valve gear lightened, Tickle Twin Leading brake...
