    Interesting insight into early American boardtrack racing…

    The British connection to the sport was pretty cool, and not altogether surprising.

    I had seen footages of racing during the HD heydays, so good to see a more balanced historical coverage :cool:

    A really good watch. One of the key things I took away from it was the massive changes that have been introduced to improve the safety in motorcycle racing :cool:

    The idea of those splinters makes me cringe…

    Just seen this video on an old race bike... the base ported cylinders are incredible! I wonder how problematic they were, as they are totally unfiltered below about 10mm square...

    That's an amazing machine. Must have a service interval of about 30 minutes. :blush:

    The guy noted that if it had been found in state it was in from Ford today it probably wouldn't have been restored. I know there's an issue about originality but for me, seeing the bike as it would have been, running and in pristine condition, is a better view of history.
