Historical INFO

Names, dates, first events etc... The beginning is the most important along with Carnegie's but all will be appriciatedWe owe allot to Hillclimbing , as it was the first " Professional" form of Motorcycle Competition. Our new brother, BSmith, is going to post his amazing collection of photos and stories in this thread.

Thats the bike I copied to make my Twin CR. The rider is Jean Claude Anere and the photo is from Arette. One motor is actually a 540. Sweet bike for its time.

I've heard about this climb for awhile down here in So Cal over the years and I found a little info on it. Est. in 1915, the climb was claimed to be the one of the century, with the best riders in the world and 35,000 spectators. Unfortunately the 405 freeway goes through the site of where the climb use to be.
Great article.
