  • Bickers on a Husky

    I was round at a pal's house in Norfolk earlier today, and we were talking bikes and Greeves - as you do...

    Suddenly he disappeared into his workshop and came out with a (very dusty) 1964 MCN calendar. "Found it in a skip and it's been on the workshop wall for years" he said.

    The October picture is attached. It shows Dave Bickers in 1963, just after he left Greeves, riding his own private Husqvarna. This must have been August or September 1963, because the Husky is fitted with Greeves forks. Dave tried them in a couple of race meetings and also tried Cerianis, but eventually settled for the Husqvarna teles.

    The first time he used them was at Shrubland Park on 3rd August 1963, but I don't think that looks like Shrubland in the picture.

    Any thoughts as to when and where, anyone?
