More pictures from Chimay Classic Bikes 2014. This time mostly of machinery to be seen in the paddock area.
Konig two-stroke flat four GP racer. An outside contender giant killer of the late sixties / early seventies. The motor was developed from an outboard marine engine. |
Implausible toothed belt belt routing to drive the disc valve on the Konig. The rubber bands driving the water pump also seem unlikely. All the same it worked and worked well. |

This 700 Royal Enfield twin powered big wheeled sidecar racer oozes character and is typical of machinery raced back in the day. It was still holding its own against a lot more trick machinery. |
Brilliant original period Dunlop sidecar racing rim and tyre on the Enfield combo. |
