An event last weekend on the south coast of Western Australia. Great fun. A ride on Saturday then a hill climb event.
Seven of us with bevels and a few other bikes went down there for the weekend.
Some nice bikes of various marques down there..
Marco's 1946 Gilera Saturno 500 race bike - lovely piece of kit

Genuine SFC - original paintwork and all. Note the Vincent HRD on the start line.

Bob O'Leary's ride - Jap engine in a featherbed frame - goes like hell.

750 Sport at the start grid "the Jap Slayer" (OK it was only up against a Honda 125 - but it was race prepped!) Damn thing was nipping at my heels every run in the tight bits up the top of the hill.

Video of Jap Slaying (click on the image) - well, at the start anyway! No probs getting to the important first tight corner (out of view) in front, but he was faster through the tight bits and only ended up between 0.5 and 1.5 sec behind me. I've put in new pistons and rings 1000km ago, so I wasn't hammering it, but I was glad it wasn't an RD 350, or I might have had to gone enduro and found another way down the hill rather than front the bevel lads at the bottom.
