Great article AR 282, I guess I'm a bit too young to remeber the early stuff. What I do remeber is a telivision broadcast of a Gene Vincent concert on TV. It must have been early sixties, I was about 10-12 years old. A whole slew of bikes rode into the hall, where a scaffolding stage was set up, rode round and around the stage then stopped GV gets off one, limps on to the stage. I was blown away by the guy, I do remeber that. Thanks JohnB.
