The Legends of the Motorcycle Concours, May 2006.  At a reception before the opening, organizers Jared Zaugg and Brooke Roner entertain their judges and VIPs.

Amongst this august group, Paul was most fascinated by Gwen, who was a factory trials rider for Francis-Barnett in the 1950’s, and quite a motorcyclist apparently. Look beyond that sweet veneer and you might find… a competitor!  Read her ‘Confessions of a Factory Trials Rider’ here.

Great event; can’t wait until next May.
