The Norton Submarine!
OK, I’m busy… You guys try and figure what this is and where it was made.. Alright, I’ll give you a hint and all I need is the specific year of this Rene Gillet, French bike from the 1930’s. Good Luck!
This Norton was seldom seen in Mid-30’s America. Even if they would have been here, they were so damn fast, you only get to look when they are parked.
The bear on this racers helmet may be a Hamm’s bear. His wedgy soles are probably for a closed circuit, smooth track. They don’t work as well as a “shoe” but the’re better than boots with a separate heel…
Just in case you forgot… This is the original style, star hub with real roller bearings. All this from the Miltary Manual given by Larry P. TANKS!
It’s a chopper, baby!
We spare no expense here at the LBMC . This is our humble tracking facility. We gave up on using dogs last year…
In 1984, there was a rally. “The Great American Race”. 3,000 miles from L.A. To Indy. Two older gentlemen decided to participate. They just happened to have been two of the Original Booze Fighters. They also raced motorcycles most of their lives. At this point they’re about 70 years of age. These two guys inspired many. Their lives are a template on how to age and still be the coolest cats on the block. God bless them both.
