I havent done many trips to Oulton (Nr Tarporley! See!) cos of the distance from the western edges of London and the relative proximity of Brands and Crystal Palace (Now WHO remembers that! Works Triumph/BSAs with Ray Pickrell et al racing between the railway sleepers.) It was even a fairly sort trip to Mallory and Thruxton.
No, that trip in 1962 was more of a pilgrimage. Me n my mate were huge fans of Robert MacGregor McIntyre (if he didnt win, he usually broke the bike trying!) and were, like many, saddened by his death. We decided that a trip to the memorial meeting was appropriate. So, we set off with me riding pillion on an elderly AJS jam pot twin.
It was along way up on the back of that! Then we borke down in Tamworth on the way back. But thats another story!!
Memories....
