Ever wondered what one of the old race bikes, or road bikes, sounded like back in the day, well have a look at Vintage Bike site as they have a sound section, click title to go straight there.

Had a listen to some such as the Norton Manx, Rotary, and Commando as well as Triumph Thruxton.
ReplyDeleteGreat and real sounds compared to what we hear today on modern rides.
May have to get those TT commentary CDs after all so I can hear those again at my leisure :)
Yeah, those motors sure made some wild music. Those Honda multis with those tiny pistons revving so high. Would have been something to watch them race. HL
