YouTube managed to stuff this into my feed somehow. There is some really great footage of (among others) Royal Enfields of the day getting tootled through the rough. Lively and hilarious soundtrack accompanies. Enjoy!

Thanks for posting that! It's enlightening to see the contrast between that pleasant 1958 course & the much rougher, rockier & tighter courses found after the two-stroke invasion. Less carrying, more riding I say!  ;D
