The Vintage Revival at Montlhéry, France, 2013. # 2

 

Some more photos of motoring’s la belle époque.

 

 

 

I now understand the meaning of a boat tail car.

 

The pilots view of a Harley Davidson Twin Cam.

 

Some riders really went fast.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When you do offerings to the God of speed, you have to take a ride back to base on the unglamorous chariot.

Old MacDonald had a farm……but he also had a couple of racing cars. The scary goat keeps felons away.

 

The Bonniksen Isochronous Speedometer, one of my favourite instruments. I think I need a bike with one attached.

 

 

 

McEvoy`s in glorious spring weather.

 

A well-deserved power nap before the next laps.

 

 

 

Jimmy Nail had a song called Crocodile Shoes……….And yes, I do think this is the actual pair….

 

 

Chanel No5 meets Castrol R40. You just have to love it!

When you walk up to the hill where the autodrome is located you find yourself transferred back in time…

I will be posting some photos to share this fantastic weekend.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My good friend Laurent is photographing a McEvoy for the Twist Grip blog.

 

 

 

 

 

Here we have even more writers of the WWW. Paul d` Orleans (The vintagent), George Cohen (Norton singles) and Vincent Prat (South siders). I think they discuss the next step for George`s bike builds…Long forks, coffin tank and king &queen seat…hence he`s moving to twin cylinder machines….

 

 

 

Probably Nancy Sinatra’s old pair of boots…

Out for lunch…croissants on his mind….

 

 

 

 

 

Not the French resistance, but my Norwegian travel comrades.….Enjoying a Manx Norton.

More A-Bombers…..

A con rod used as exhaust clamp.

Unusual tuning for a Ford four banger.

A rather special Rudge came with a nice smell of castor oil.

A-bombers old style weekend 2012-Hill climb at Devils Peak.

Some photos from this Saturday’s sunny and warm hill climb in Uddevalla Sweden.

A JAP lawnmower engine in a NV frame from the twenties……one of the slowest combinations man has created…

Nice shoes…..
