This page is
an all-bikes affair and we start by looking at some of the overseas visitors to
the UK. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And now for some of the US stars who made the long haul over to the UK. I think probably the first such visitor was Danny Johnson. He brought over two bikes as I recall, a single injected Harley and a double-engined Harley which he called, unsurprisingly, Goliath. It is difficult to tell in this shot but I am guessing he is on the single in this picture. |

Next up is Marion Owens on his massive double Harley-powered Boss
Hog. |
|
|
|
|
Two shots of Top Fuel Bike champion Ken Annesley on board his double injected Kawasaki-powered Orange Crush. |

My thanks to Keith Lee for identifying the rider of this double Norton-engined bike as Johnny Munn. |

Ironically, this picture of John Hobbs on The Hobbit was scanned from 'Drag Racer Colour Action'! Anyway it shows tha bike as it originally appeared with the full fairing. |
|
|
|
|
And here are a number of Lawrie's shots of the bike in its perhaps more familiar state without the fairing. |

This rather odd blue-tinted picture was published in Drag Racer magazine and shows Terry Revill's Assassin Kawasaki gas bike. |

|
John Clift burning out against the Santa Pod tower on his bike which he called The Co-Respondent. |

The
remaining pictures on this page are of US riders taken on Lawrie's regular trips
across the pond. |

Another
contender for the first seven second pass in history was Russ Collins and his
amazing triple-engined Honda. |
