The thing that strikes me looking at speedway of 50-60 years ago...the huge "cow horn" handlebars. Modern speedway bikes demand a totally different riding style. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got most of 'The Memories' series of DVDs...great stuff! Apparently there is soon to be released footage of Oxford & White City 'Rebels'...can't wait!

I wish they could do a 'Memories of Sunderland Speedway' DVD. Sadly there isn't enough material as far as I am aware. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
