Vintage Speedway Bikes..

A painful experience remembered at the Walthamstow Pump House.

I absolutely love these early speedway bike's. & the sound is something else.

5:00 that old Scammell reminds me of living in Leeds in early 60's and seeing them run around City Square from the post office to the mail trains!

On today's Speedway motorcycles, other than slanting the engine forward putting a rubber band front suspension on them they're basically the same bike from 100 years ago

[@doncarlo5]

it's basically a twin cyl. in boxer configuration ... very low center of gravity .... very competitive at its time ...

[@woodyate]

Yeah you look like the forefathers of speedway tech simple adreline racing results

[@denispook3967]

oh add some brakes and run em down the road eh ,these bikes are NOT designed to be run down the road ,if you dont know that you know f all about a speedway bike, a revving speedway bike is one of the best sounds ever , its built to do a short race over just 4 laps at high speed, shut the throttle and the thing stops BLOODY QUICK run the engine for long time will blow it and cost a fortune in fuel

[@draggonhedd]

I'd throw some brakes on these, a real transmission with a clutch, and daily ride them on the street, but i'm just that kind of crazy.
