This picture is sweet...hard core to the bone...The bike is hot and can give some great ideas for builds.
Bert Denley at the Isle of Man – Circa 1925
- Thread starter culvercityclassic
- Start date
Very cool!!!!!!!!
I was actually reading a little about the Isle Of Mann race the other night. If I remember correctly in 2011 there was a 1911 Indian that was meant to do a parade lap, but unfortunately the race fell behind so the Indian hot lap was canned. Would have been great to see :-(

The Bert Denly pic was taken at Brooklands, a big bumpy concrete bowl to the west of London.
Among many other bikes raced there was this Grindlay Peerless: http://classic-motorbikes.net/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Grindlay-Peerless.jpg

It's interesting to note that a lot of these riders were small built guys a lot like Horse Jockey's. I'm only 5'6" at 135-140 so I guess I'm not that far off
