Hailwood's RC163 - A privileged seat.

Post by louismonk » Mon Aug 30, 2010 7:41 pm

Today was Beaulieu's Supercar and Superbike start-up day.

After a fantastic few car and bike drive pasts and start-ups the day was over... or was it?

I managed to talk the mechanic into letting me sit astride the original Honda RC163 racebike from many years ago.

This is an idle boast, but I just wanted to tell the world! haha

By the way for those that do not know it sounds every bit as good as you might expect!

After being so used to seeing disc brakes I'm always impressed by BIG drums :P
