Has anyone managed to download the Babelgum videos yet, I've tried and not been able to. I'm only interested in the Geoff Duke and Phil Read ones, so if anyone has them I'd be gratefull for a copy by e-mail to gilera@igottagilera.co.uk
Thanks, Paul
Thanks, Paul
Paul, I've tried to attach them but the computer says no..... I'm sure its me though, I'll enlist some help later. Unless of course Mr Fu has done it already.
Hi Russell,
Thanks, it's sure got me beaten. I've downloaded 3 programmes that say they can do it, but none have done so.
I'll keep fingers crossed,
Paul

Herr, do you know anything about the little Ducati; seems to be a Mach 1 type frame with a 175 motor ?

Bruno Knuebhuller (or whatever the correct spelling is) ?
No, its Jack Armstrong, Mac Hobson's 1974 passenger in their Brit champ year, he also raced a Greeves in the 1960's, & is boss/owner of ARD racebodywork up in the North East.
Oh yeah, also raced a Manx & Aermacchi in Classic racing in the mid 2000's

Hi Russell,
I took this at Assen in 1998 at the Centennial TT. He's not put on any weight over the years (seems he lives mainly on red wine). Funniest thing at the Centennial was to see Ubbiali and Provini manage to completely ignore one another. Long standing bad blood meant they hadn't spoken for years.

I've never seen any of these before - really entertaining. For me, Redman's is the most engrossing ; unlike most of the others, the guy's a natural storyteller....and he's prepared to tell us how much they paid him.
Hi Russell,
No don't know a thing about it ,but its a handsome little fellow,so I just had to take a snap.Old Renzo would tell us exactly what it is,I'm sure.

Good Evening
Totally agree with you Russell . Jim Redman was very interesting,showing how much the riders put their neck on the line back then. Big Thankyou 
to Rennmax for the link.

Is it Austrian rider Rudi Thalhammer on a 350 Manx??
I think he rode a Manx with a Peel fairing and those stripes, but not sure if he ever competed in the TT.
Ballaugh Bridge obviously.
