Title: Veloman and Furry these are of interest!
Post by: themoudie on March 03, 2014, 11:36:51 PM

Good evening veloman and Furry,

Out for a hurl on Sunday, really good, but cold and plenty of salt lying about!

However, with the Manx (Classic TT!) in the offing, I have come across the following.

This blog, after watching Chris Swallow racing 250 Velo double-knocker in New Zealand on YouTube.

Here is the link for the YouTube clip of Chris racing in NZ. Appears to go very well, but the pilots "no bad" either.

Being members of the VOC (or is it the VMCC?), you may already be aware of this potential entry.

Good health.

My regards, Bill.

Hi Bill, it's Thumper, VOC and VMCC, no, I have heard nothing about this, someone had one of Les Diener's double knocker bikes over here in Uk some years back, they were very well designed and put together. It will be interesting to see whether Bill gets the ride, he has certainly had the required experience of the IOM and TT to qualify.

Good Health and Happiness to you

Furry
