« on: August 10, 2013, 02:57:38 PM »
Spent the day at Donington Park today the Classic Festival weekend, there was 4 of the George Beale built Honda 6's 3 out on track.


and without the fairing



This one appeared to have ignition problems, this originally housed 3 sets of points back in the 60's.

Sorry I didn't take any video, just checked on YouTube nothing there either yet.

There was also 2 ex MotoGP Ducatis one in Rossi colours and one Cappirossi, the Brittan was on show too.

The RC174 is an over-bored RC166 to be able to compete in the old 350cc Class.
