This past weekend was the annual Southern Classic motorcycle meeting at Broadford in Victoria. Some see it as a chance for the old boys to try to relive past glories but really it's just a great weekend of racing and fun. The racing in particular is surprisingly good and imo compared to modern Moto GP or Superbikes way more enjoyable and interesting to watch.

Enough words here are the pictures.

A dedicated wife or girlfriend.

4.

Yes that is a Douglas flat twin being raced!

5.

As you should know from my photos there is always a Ducati!

6.

One of the most annoying photos I have ever taken. A fraction of a second later and I would have had him changing gear not just removing his hand from the left grip. :-(

7.

I wish they had cut the grass but I guess it adds atmosphere to the pic.

8.

A little newer than the last lot.

9.

A lot of the racing was quite close

10.

Truthfully when was the last time you saw a BMW boxer on a race track?

Now we look at the spectator bikes and the pits in part two....

The spectator and pit areas.

Just parked. An immaculate '55 Rapide D with chair attached.

Don't you always expect to see an Indian parked at the pit gate?

5.

6.

Gotta get cool air into 'dem drums!

7.

The Douglas race bike (Btw that's an HRD Vincent in the background but you will have to follow the link to see it)

8.

Insane, another Douglas. Maybe the first ever factory ADV bike?

9.

Pit row

10.

and some of these guys are serious!

Well, that's it it you want to see all 98 photos click here.

P.S. As I was riding out of the car park I saw an Octavia wagon parked under a tree so there was at least one other person with good taste in motor vehicles there. :-)
