Another gem. This one from Harvey Juergens. Hornsby STP 1964 –
from the left Bob Dick – Jim Cavanagh – Bill Broderick – Graeme Fraser – Peter McCloskey – Barry Dening and Harvey on the end. There were 22 bikes at Hornsby plus the boss had an outfit – prior to the Coopers. These appear to be Thunderbirds and a Matchless on the end. The screens are non issue at that time – booked out to the OIC’s outfit and fitted up by the troops themselves.

Do you have any Class photos from that period?
