Nice Simon, the number 6 bike (blue plate) looks to be a 350 four.

In respect of the one with the yellow frame, unless it has some secret hinges, getting the motor out must be a nightmare. haha.

Hi i was trying to race at Spa in the IHRO/BCGP, 74 starters on the grid. We had a walk round and found that 350/ 4 Honda indeed it was one of Johns bikes im sure speaking to the owner  that he said William Dunlop did one lap on it at the MGP/Classic TT.
It had William Dunlop on the fairing and i think the owner said he is taking it to Ireland for some Classic bike show, and maybe taking it to Jurby during the MGP/Classic. The owners son was parading it.
Pity you missed out on my bike Simon, number 91.

sorry i did miss your bike but to be honest i was not looking for sohc hondas that hard !   

i did enjoy the ihro race , must admit i thought grids that big were a thing of the past . the whole schedule was very busy i got the feeling that making money was a higher priority than rider welfare .

the european classic scene does look healthy though , the classic endurance grid was very impressive .
