Just a picture

This showed up in another place, and I thought it might be appreciated on here too. I wonder if anyone recognises any of the people in the pix, or the shop for that matter?

The photo is of 3 ISDT bikes in 1960.

Angus Herbert.JPG

Quite a lot about the proprietor if you Google Angus Herbert motorcycle. He was a successful racer and member of the OWLS Motorcycle Club, Sevenoaks.

I don't do Faecesbook but it might be worth visiting the Toolboxlifestyle pages.

In the programme for the '60 ISDT which was in Austria there were only 3 Matchlesses, all shown as G80's and their riders names listed and all 3 were members of a Kent motorbike club. (The shop in the pic is in Kent).
According to web articles British manufacturers officially boycotted that year's ISDT but made undercover arrangements with dealers to submit a team. It could be that Angus Motorcycles was one of those chosen dealers..............

It's in Bacon's postwar singles book, but the caption reads... Works Matchless singles used in the 1958 ISDT... with the pressmen from Motor Cycling
