Well, I seemed to have started something here ... amazing how these threads can sometimes take on a life of their own, though I didn't really expect handlebars to be such an intense subject :D

 

Now, let me think of something else....

In the 60s, at Cutom House, they used to run 5 rider races in the second half of the meetings, with a green and white helmet colour :!:

I'm shure this would be a better option than green and save all the mix up with the now mostly yellow helmets. What happend to Yellow and Black :?:

To keep on thread what about coloured HB covers :D

Dont mean to stray any further, but remember the days of straight pipes and when the rider backed off the throttle a flame would be at the exhaust until the gave it some gas? I guess it was residual fuel that was ignited, quite a sight at night. Handlebars are cool, uh or were... Somehow,... I don't think that came out right

Whilst on my soap box. Can anyone tell me where a GREEN helmet colour from. I mean G...R...E....E....N :!: :!: :?: :twisted:

 

Not sure where green helmet colours originated, but they have been used in Australia for quite a few years, mainly when the larger tracks stage six rider races, I've seen a few other colours used as well. But the biggest joke of all was when David Tapp decided to get rid of hemet colours completely for a full International Masters Series in OZ.

Trying to follow a six rider race without helmet colours was not easy, despte Billy Hamill's idea of attaching a little flag to his helmet, changing the colours to match what helmet colour he would of had on.
