Island Classic from Australia.

[steve murdoch]

Results, photos and videos of some great vintage bike racing.
Go to the "News" and then look for "Island Classic".
I won't mention results for a couple days.
Any body from the site make it to the races?

Very nice - we must get you over the ditch here to NZ...

I hear the hotrod katanas of Giles/Martin went through 8 or so motors between them...correct ?

A Kiwi who was there reports watching Giles at the last turn...came in sliding, tucked the front, saved it, then fired it out doing a 4th gear wheelie...new lap record....

Some great looking bikes in this gallery including the Heron.

Thanks Steve for posting that. I was hunting around in the wrong places for photos or videos after I saw the results on RRW.com.

Looks like a lot of modern modifications are allowed.
