Obscure & Old Video: Charge of The Bike Brigade by staff
Monday, September 14, 2009
Presented for your (obscure) viewing pleasure: a clip from a '70s BBC program titled "Charge of the Bike Brigade".
It contains appearances by members of the Dunlop family and others racing in Ireland, at times right through IRA strife. NorthWest 200 and the like.
This is footage of true '70s "road racing" as they call it in the old country. As opposed to what we do over here in America, which is, unequivocally, "circuit racing".
