Don't think the Welsh tourist Board will be using pics from this year to promote "Sunny Wales" Still wish I'd been there though. |

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers.
The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

The amazing thing is that when the first bike ran up the sand (the Mike Page Special) a shaft of sunlight about, say, 60 - 100 feet in diameter, followed the bike up the sand, as though a spotlight was shining from above....... I kid you not!!! Totally bizarre.....................  |

I'd love to know if this Brough was there........ Met the rider at a rally (as you can see) and he was hoping to break his Grandad's speed.....

As best as I know there was only one Brough which belonged to Eric Patterson (EGP Enterprises as in the autojumbles etc), and I only saw it do one run (not to say he didn't do more though). He's campaigned his bike at Bonneville. http://www.egp-enterprises.co.uk/about-the-organiser.html |

There may be a bit of TV coverage at some stage, as the bloke (Henry Cole) who presents the ITV4 programme "The Motorbike Show" was there with a film crew on the Friday afternoon and some of Saturday. The current season of programmes is going out on at 9pm on Wednesdays, so maybe next next season??  |

Found this youtube clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdeehmS0aeAAlso found that the Brough is a 'new build' by a chap who apparently has the rights to the Brough name, which suggests it ain't a pre 1990 bike (just looks like one! oh, and sounds like one!!) If someone were to offer me one, I reckon I'd accept it, hey, it would be rude not too......... Extra peice of info: The V-twin JAPs were ridden by Ewan Cameron of Cameron Racing Engines http://cameronracingengines.com/esite/home |
