    Waaaw! These old bikes. It is as 1977 me and my friends went to the races here in holland and spent more time at the parking as at the race.

    Nice dog in the sidecar! Lots of BMW’s as you said, my friend had the same colour All red R100S featured at @ 17.15 bought new, later he did some production racing on it painted in Motorsport white with various trick parts. I bought the bike from him when he went onto faster bikes. I don’t have that bike now but I do have an R nineT Racer which I bought partly in homage to that old bike 🇬🇧

  • @bferguson9277
    @bferguson9277 2 роки тому

    As I commented earlier, thanks for this great video. I have to say, for all the vintage shows I've seen, I never see a Royal Enfield 750 Interceptor. They weren't big sellers, of course, and their engineering left something to be desired compared to most of their contemporaries. However, they were such beautiful bikes, and fast, too. It would be brilliant to have one show up at the cul de sac.

    How are the brakes of this old bikes? Especially the front brakes? I have a bmw r60/5 with drumbrakes but the brakes of my bmw k1300s are much better. Is it not dangerous with the old brakes. On the other hand: 1977 i had a suzuki T350 with drumbrakes and this was a good bike.

      Thank you very much, Dave, I really appreciate it. I try very hard to keep a steady hand whenever I can, and try and use a tripod as much as possible in the garage on projects. Thanks for your notes, I enjoyed reading them. Yes, the Oaks Park event is probably one of my favorites. It's not stuffy, and there is no competition or judging (literally!). It's a great gathering where most of the guys ride their bikes to the event. Best wishes, Mike.
