Classic i was expecting sammy miller but this looks even before his time my dad rode trials in the 60 s in aus before i was born and he wore a similar outfit . 👍👏
Marvellous stuff ! I particularly liked - early 'engine mapping' at 2:31 , presumably cleaner air back then at 4:09 , the clutch and brake levers forged from 'drillium' , and perhaps the fore-runner of the 'splat' at 16:49 ? All good advice on technique that still applies today .
Eynsford Ford. Recognised it straight away and used in another AMC publicity shot with a Twin. Only just down the road from Gordon’s Farm. Been through it many times
The rocks they rode over were on Gordon's farm. He had a couple of lorry loads of cobbles from the Old Kent Road, when it was tarmaced over. Both Gordon and Hugh live near Swanley. I think they also used parts of Canada Heights in the film.
Great stuff.Thanks for sharing all these films.

A nice antidote to all the nuts who think that motorcycles began with the Japanese.
