I heard this site given a mention during TT week, if you want a peek at how things used to be, have a look.

This clip is of Stanley Woods winning his fourth senior TT in 1932

Shame there's no sound, but still worth a look!

I got fifty one pages of hits when I searched "Motorcycles".

Search "Thruxton", for some truly miserable British weather, gawd it always seemed to be raining when the cameras turned up!

Had to laugh at one of the "Endurance" races, with a "Le Mans" start, the guy on pole couldn't start his machine, he's giving the kick start hell, but will it fire ................NO SIR!
