Dave Roper, the first American ever to win an Isle of Man TT, will be riding a restored 580cc Indian TT model v-twin in the 2011 TT. Roper has a lifetime of achievement in vintage racing, including more than 20 AHRMA national championships as well as his win of the 1984 Senior Historic TT on a G50 Matchless. Support the first motorcycle to ever win the Senior TT on the Mountain Course, the only American marque to win at the event and the only American racer to ever win the Senior Historic TT!
Tom Mueller sent me another photo he took at the first Daytona vintage race on 3/4/81 which he was covering for Cycle News. I'm riding a 1959 Matchless G-50.
This goes with the other two he previously sent and I posted:
D. The two previous photos become a terrific triptych with the G50. Does middle picture w/ classic gesture say "And the bike went like this?" Thanks for posting. And those haybales...missed them before. h
