Senior
My brother is Junior
Well last weekend I was at Castle Combe Circuit for the Fowlers Pro-Bike race meeting. :thumbup:
It was a special anniversary, celebrating 60 years of motorcycling at the circuit and I was taking part in the Parade.
I was riding bike number 118, built in 1951 !!! It's a 350cc flat twin Douglas Plus 80. The bike is one of my father-in-laws, you can see him in the first picture to the left of me on bike 118, he's the shorter gentleman in jeans and checked shirt. He still rides on the road, but not on the track anymore, although he was racing back in the 50's up to the late 90's.
Anyway this was my third year taking part in the Parade and I had never made it to the 2nd session of the day, so I was going to nurse the bike on the first session and give it some on the second, which worked.
All in all a great day, even if I was the slowest, but I was riding by far the oldest bike on the track !! :cheer:
