1974 Bol d'or - Delphisa - 08-06-2019 I recently recovered some very, very old black and white pictures I took at Le Mans in 1974, when the yearly 24 Hours race "Bol d'Or" was held there, on the Bugatti circuit... (later this race went to Le Castellet, then Magny-Cours). I set out to scan all that... No very good shots there, but good souvenir! I put all my photos of this race in this [url=http://img.gg/O4qNni5]album Geolocation and date/time of shots are very approximate (put in metadata 45 years after the event...) Here’s a selection, the four least bad pictures! This bike was already an anachronism, but there was at the time quite a sympathy for the "big singles"... A few minutes before the start, the BSA 500 of Nigel Rollasson and Bernard Berger: Ready to start there too, Anne-Marie Lagauche and Gabrielle Toigo’s Kawasaki 900, and Peter Hitchcox and Douglas Cash's Dresda Honda None of the previous bikes finished the race... On second day I tried to get some shots of top 3 bikes... Here is Gerard Debrock, on a Honda 860: And the winner bike : Kawasaki 1000 (Georges Godier / Alain Genoud) Jean-Pierre RE: 1974 Bol d'or - Rocky_imp - 08-06-2019 Great and historic pictures RE: 1974 Bol d'or - GoldOxide_imp - 08-06-2019 Yup - great deep dig of an historic event. Love the bikes. Love the people watch of the era. Thanks for the share Delphisa . RE: 1974 Bol d'or - peterbaron - 08-06-2019 Great pics and album, reminding me my teenage time. Thanks Deiphisa RE: 1974 Bol d'or - Houtman_imp - 08-07-2019 Thanks for the great pictures , love those old race bikes. RE: 1974 Bol d'or - Nortoon_imp - 08-07-2019 I have had a home computer since 1982, but have often been annoyed by the little black boxes that are supposed to be pictures. I knew enough to right click the mouse and use several different choices from the menu to access them. But in my haste never noticed the "Show Picture" choice. DUH!
