Who dat!?

Mrs Lambert.

The lady that was killed?

The Lambert couple seems to be the issue of the day for Russ and me....

On the Island '61 when in the chair for hubby Claude. Ive just checked out her age : 26 As has been said, Claude contined racing for a few years afterwards.

At the "Cutting" (between Crg-ny-Baa and Brandish) whichs seems like a straight , but apparently not a race speed

Do'ya know if she's happy with Rudi........

She aint gonna look like that still Russ!! :\

Blimey!! real sad, sad when anyone is lost...but to lose your wife when you were doing the driving,.... must of been very difficult to want to carry on?

Yeah, Rodney just posted a little pic of her.... Anyway, I bet she's still got the leathers

Yes but can she still get in them!!

Waow ! Nice pic !
Did you take it ?




What about this one ?
Isn't she beautiful ?

Hi TDH and welcome. I've posted this before but it recently got the chop....

This is Dane again?

Now for something complete different....

NO !

The picture is out of a long gone Dutch magazine called Motorsport.

Dane had a monthly collumn in that magazine for some years around 1972-1973.

DKW tripple around '56, Cecil Sandford or teamate Wunsche (spelling). Location: wild guess, Assen.

YES NO NO

Is it HP Muller ? Sure looks like Assen....

HP Müller was a NSU rider during this time. After he won the 250 worldchampionship in 55, he retired IIRC.
The venue is in Germany and has a name which has a meaning in English and French, but not in German...
Was used till the mid-sixties

Solitude...still don't know who though. Wasn't Muller about the oldest ever guy to win a world title- 50 or so when he won it? Just checked it out - 46, no spring chicken then....

How about August Hobl ? Sorry, no umlauts on my keyboard...

Not quite as old as we are, Russ

In fact, he was 45 when he won the title in '55 as a privateer against the MVs.
As already said before, he did it on a over-the-counter Sportmax. Even in the crucial state of the championship, NSU was not willing to provide him with an works twin (Rennmax) after their withdrawal at the end of '54. BTW, HP Müller was a pre war GP driver in the Auto-Union squad additionally to his 2 wheel efforts

On solitude....contrary to it's name, crowds up to 400 000 turned up there in the mid-fifties.
As far as I know, the only meeting where SMBH raced on 2 wheels as well as 4 wheels, the event in '64.

The rider in the picture is a German lad, who did quite well in the 350 cc table in '56...

Some facts about the bike, if of interest.

It's a 3 cylinder (1 horizontal, 2 vertical), the layout Honda adopted for the NS 500 IIRC.
Whacked out close to 50 HP in '56 when they pulled out and had a useable rev band 6800-11000 rpm, which is a lot for a racing 2-stroke IMHO.
So with some mild tuning, it would have been competitive for years ....

But the German motorcycle market collapsed in the mid-fifties and all activities (with the exception of the BMW sidecar thing) were stopped.

Another famous lady passenger.

Anyone remember the golden helmet races at Mallory? pudding basin helmets painted gold with metal wings sticking out each side.

And the sidecar handicap races, now they were always exciting.

Fred Hanks, Fred Wallis, E T Young, Bill Boddice et al

Ask Rudi next week, you can meet him here.

Is it a fact that he will be there, I'd like to meet up with him again after many years?

Thanks Renmmax. Superb pic of a superb machine.

I saw this! Owen Greenwood, it caused a bit of a furore if I remember correctly, is this entering Druids, if so, I could have been at one of my few bike viewings.

Thought I would post one of my dads pics, not that it is difficult but I just love the atmosphere

Even I know him GD

Two things.When remembering female passengers dont forget Aga Neumann

Also didnt Florian ride that outfit he took to Seeleys to the TT I have some recollection of him being stopped after the Mersey Tunnel on the way to the boat...or apocryphal maybe

It's in a message from Dane on the Steve English forum.

Alright clever clogs, sort this little lot out. Good night all

Out of interest, are any of you guys attending the Colin Seeley night at FORC? He will be holding an audience.

Wednesday 25th March..........Colin Seeley

With Heinz Luthringshauser, also at the Imatra GP 1971.





And here with Arsenius Butscher, Dutch TT Assen 1966.

Good morning mates,

any sidecar specialist around who could give an answer ?

Thanks

vivid shots

wonder why Claude pulled down his goggles..
also like the Parliament square shot and Alfred watching the kerbs

Impressive though moving memory...

Bob Mac is well rembered over here, lapping the old Hockenheim circuit (before that Motodrom was built in '65) at 208,5 kmh...

That looks like the old Snetterton paddock in the 60s Rod

What a great shot! Snetterton (before my time!) #37 Tom Dickie?
Used to be great to get up on the pits roof, the sound and the smell as they all went out on mass for practice!!!
Happy days.

OK ! Her name is Margret Reiser.

Love the chairs myself. So how about this one then?

Terry Vinicombe in 1st place ??

Mick Boddice number 5? (Think Terry Vinnecombe is last chair in the distance?).

I thought Rod's warming-up area shot might have been Castle Combe.

´fraid not . Nice pic though, isn´t it. Looks like the 2nd outfit is actually giving the leader a nudge.
