"It's strange what you find when you're looking for something else, i.e. one 'photo taken at Cadwell Park Lincs, it was B.M. (before marriage), so 1963 0r '64, taken by a spectator and then posted to me. This was at the hairpin bend that made a half-circuit from the full race circuit. I gave it hard left hand down, and we shot onto the unused part of the circuit, the spectators all cheered, so the next time around, (being last now!), I slowed and gave the correct hand-signal and signalled "turning right" ----more cheers!!. At the end, as we entered the paddock, we, (Lesley and I) had Moggie owners slapping us on the back saying " Never knew BSAs could compete so well against the Mog". Next day Lesley could not sit down, as I had left the seat cushions out for better gravity---." Brian Grindrod |
| Brian is a long serving stalwart of this club, and a good friend, he first appeared in a 1961
club rally that went to see the Brighton Run, where Jack Rowe helped him fix a core plug problem. This 'photo was almost to poor to publish when I recieved it, but with the aid of enhancement software it is now fairly presentable, worth taking trouble over this one I think to illustrate a rarely photographed phenomenum, a BSA with a wheel in the air!! psb. |
