Borrowed this one today, I think it's a gem..maybe cos it's local  Wink...Early 70's
I got it from the guy in number 11, John Grant of "Grants Auto Wreckers" here in Geelong.
For anyone that know's Torquay, thats the footy oval on the right as you drive in to town on the Great Ocean Road...have a look how many different models are racing...lol
Enjoy, sorry I left it a little big... Roll Eyes

I'll say - the HD has got some pretty serious camber, too.

Great photo.

Great shot,
I can remember going to a couple of meetings down there in the old days; what a hoot.

That front wheel with a heap of camber was an old speedway trick to hold the car down on the pole line, or at least that what they thought it did.  Supposedly stopped the car 'washing out' on the corners.
