One for Bryan ...possibly

<< < (2/2)

Bryanj:
There was quit an impressive 24 hour racing pedigree using many different models including Vellocette, BSA, Laverda and others.
Upstairs in Gloucester was a real Alladins cave with bikes you only ever hear about but rarely see, Royal Enfield Flying Flea anybody

Ah so it is John, I looked at that photo for quite a while without realising it was Hereford old bridge, even now I'm trying to decide if that building is still there.

Johnwebley:
The building has been remodeled into a restaurant, bar venue, not sure what, called Left Bank Village,

But back in the history, I tried to remember some of the racers that rode for M&T

Alan Peck,used to have a  Saint logo on his helmet
Nigel Rollason,think he raced sidecars as well
A very young Neil Tuxworth,

Oh of course it has, was owned by the Dutch businessman credited with the barcode if that's true.
