Special Category for British Motorcycles
[edit]As part of the Motorcycling WikProject I am working though all the missing articles and stubs for British Bikes. To make things easier to sort out there is a special Category:British motorcycles Please add to any British motorcycle pages you find or create. It will also help to keep things organised if you use the Template:Infobox Motorcycle or add it where it is missing. I've linked the Category to the Commons Motorcycles of Britain so you could help with matching pics to articles or adding the missing images to the Commons.

Thuxton handlebars
[edit]As a quick aside whilst I remember, looking at the edit history with now-blocked 72bikers deleting content, these configurations of handlebars to attain a low riding position were needed as production-class racing involved full factory specifications to be retained. This meant that if fork shroud/headlamp brackets were standard, they could not be removed to fit clip-ons. Certain modifications were allowed for safety, mainly involving repositioning handlebar/footrests and fitting of additional exhaust brackets.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 15:14, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
- This 1961 film by Pathé News at Thruxton Circuit clearly shows in a close-up Ace/dropped/Thruxton bars being used by Actor Richard Wyler.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 22:26, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
