Default Five Champions---Eighteen Cylinders.

Went to the Post TT at Mallory yesterday.Great day out with some good racing,but the highlight had to be seeing (and hearing)four classic GP MV Agustas and a works BSA Rocket Three cicuiting Mallory piloted by Ago Read Surtees Cooper and another former works MV rider(?Bonoiri)What a sight.And what a noise.Unforgetable.I don't know what his connections are ,but John Cooper also managed to get the Red Arrows to do an unofficial fly past which took all by surprise,including the commentary team
The paddock was full of classic GP bikes including a dozen MVs and a similar collection of works Hondas,and several BSA Triumph triples.I lost count of the Manx Nortons and Ducatis.
Much cheaper than Goodwood too.
