Great pictures, thanks for that. This is indeed a 1965 Silverstone, and I have providence showing that this particular machine was an ex works bike and was raced in the TT, lying third until the primary chain broke. It has been raced all over England with great success by Ian Bryant. On its highest gearing ratio it has been clocked at 124mph (not that I’ve got anywhere near that!)
We’ll riding at the festival of 1000 bikes again this year. See you there!
