Of Replicas and replicas
While walking the field at this year’s Riding Into History, I noted a very nice OSSA flat track bike, a Dick Mann Replica. My companion remarked that she was not too impressed as it wasn’t the real thing. But it is. A bit farther along we came upon a Honda GP replica. This one I explained really wasn’t the real thing, but rather something built to appear as such. It was a very nice job too. I’ve seen numerous people swan over it believing they were looking at rare factory racer. All good fun, but what’s real, what’s not? It’s …
Kawasaki Auction Bike Delivered!
Wayne, the winner of the silent auction motorcycle from Riding Into History took delivery of his 1977 Kawasaki KZ1000 last week. Chris Alley from Ace Vintage Motorcycle Specialists, delivered the Kawasaki to Phiil Ridgdill. Wayne picked it up from Phil, the original and only owner of the bike. Wayne, Chris and Phil spent the afternoon talking about Phil’s racing, the Kawasaki and the work performed at Ace to bring it back to life. Phil is still a very rapid rider, as those of us who ride with him can attest. He is a great friend of Riding Into History, and …
