A fantastic film. I just love watching motorcycle racing the past. It was a lot more glamorous in those days, especially the women, very elegant.

I'm only 50, but my old man raced at that time, and I grew up reading and watching films about racing at that time, and absolutely love this time period, and the film style.

The year of my first contact with the racing motorcycles, I was 8 years old, and suddenly I discovered my great passion for engines, becoming with the time my job during 47 years...More, today I follow to practise building an engine for my living room.....

The last Dutch TT on public roads. 1955 it took place at a new and much shorter permanent racetrack.

Fantastic. The run off road at the end of the straight where several lads were running off. No doubt with the lever back to the handlebars cos his drum front brake was saying no. Brilliant video and thankyou to al the motorcycle brake designers in the the world that understand the concept that ; the better the brake, the faster youll go x

Love the 'dustbin' fairings of that era. BTW, the DKW is a 3 cylinder motorcycle not a 2 cylinder as the voice over says.

Yes, it had a reputation for being the loudest motorcycle ever…the chain saw….possibly superseded by a Honda Six on song….l never got to see the DKW but l did see, and hear the Honda six a few times……it was loud!!

If you watch the film we didn't even lead the world in bikes in 1954. AJS got a 3rd & 4th on 350's. Norton did a big bag of beggar all, apart from fail.

Shell Ukraine deceived me when filling up for money. And he refuses to compensate. I don't recommend filling up at Shell.
