Hey Fasteddy, great link. It looks like the Britts were the first MBers. These early motorized bikes led the way for the great racing machines of the 50s and 60s. What surprized me was the size of some of the engines, 500cc or higher. Even with the large engines, most of the speedos only go up to 50MPH. I especially appreciate the simplicity of their designs. No frills, no extras, just basic engineering and clever fabrication. I'm thinking some of the creative folks who belong to this forum are decendants of those early tinkerers..weld
