Historian Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago Ive just been handed a scrapbook which contains a pic taken I believe at Glasgow in the 1950s it features Merv Harding and Ken Le Breton discussing the merits of the "Jetaway" bike, not heard of this before, anyone throw any light on this?

BL65 Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago Bat Byrnes beat Merv Harding in the ‘Jetaway Match Race’ over three laps at Ashfield on 30th August 1949. Junior Bainbridge beat Ken Le Breton in the ‘Jetaway Challenge Race’ over two laps at Glasgow White City on 14th September 1949. Bainbridge used a bike fitted with ‘rockets’ with Le Breton on a conventional bike. Presumably Byrnes or Harding used a machine set-up similar to that used by Bainbridge.
