I saw Dickie Dale on theV8 at Ulster Grand Prix 1957. The sound was unforgettable.

5:07 No, he first designed and built a four cylinder in line, which was a total failure! 6:41 why these pictures that have nothing to do with the Guzzi? These are Jim Redman and Nobby Clark with a Honda six. And there are many more totally unrelated pictures!
