75th Anniversary July 2024

They are the 2 original F1 race bikes Martin Hone raced in Oz, Scott has been sorting them out for the last couple of years. I haven't actually seen them in person, they just got finished and sent over for the anniversary in a nick of time. They popped up for sale a few years back and Scott was the only one who realised what they actually were.
 
OK. Have had communications with Scott and know the story well - when Lee was spannering the Freedom Wheels bike for Martin Hone it was basically a stripped RGS frame and an RGS bottom end in the motor - with the F1 top end fitted. Alan Mills destroyed the crank at Bathurst - I quit the team as assistant mechanic in disgust over unprofessional behaviour - but that was BEFORE he rode it in the Arai and wrecked it. Nuff said ...

Maybe later it received an F1 frame. Long journey for the bikes to Breganze - very cool.

They look fantastic as does the museum - had a great day today - not going to post pics in the museum as you should come and take the pleasure yourself when you can 😉IMG_1588.jpeg

The phrase "the eagle flies on Friday" takes on a new meaning, the eagle flies every day!
