Proving Velo's are not just for show, but also for GO.. pics of members past & current racing velo's in Oz
W.A. Velo racer and well known passionate Veloist Don Chesson aboard Dennis Quinlan's loaner at Amaroo Park 1977. The bike is a Smith-framed MAC Special.
Don said it handled and went very well indeed. Click HERE for more historic photos of many of Don's KTT's and others, plus pics from various country racetracks around
Western Australia and check out how safety was not a big issue in the old days!
None of these tracks exist any more except that our local historic competition motorcycle racing club holds it monthly meetings at the old Caversham Race track where the Start Tower is still in place.
I will be adding more pics from Don's albums as time permits....
