Nice one, Angus. It's interesting at 2:49 to see that beautifully turned-out C15. My first bike, in 1981, was a '62 C15 and was painted in what I thought was orange but now turns out to be 'electron red'! It had chrome panels on the tank. The registration number was 702 CAM which would probably now be worth more than the 200-ish quid I paid for the bike. I rode it on 'L' plates. It was a steady plodder and my mates on FS1Es and SS50s could leave me standing but I'd always have the last laugh as I sailed through the 60mph barrier.
Great for us that can't make the show to have a look round. Thanks, mate. And, I must say, how fast FIFTY YEARS goes by!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Phil and indeed time flies.
Nice of you Angus to video the show for us that can't make it
No problem Alexander all part of the channel service!

Cheers Dave and great anecdote - it’s sharing details and memories like this that make the channel community.
Very interesting as usual!
Thanks for the interest and kind comment.
Looking back, the Hurricane looks fantastically radical compared to everything else available at the time.
It does Stew without a doubt and it still looks great today. This one needs a bit of tidying and polish but not bad!
