Motorcycle GP Racing in the 1960s

Chris Pereira became interested in motorcycle racing while still a schoolboy.  He immigrated to England in 1955, and went to work for racing dealer Arthur Taylor of Shipston-on-Stour. Chris attended many race meetings and TT Races during the ’50s and ’60s, often helping out riders. He raced in club events during the 1960s, on vintage bikes during the 1970s, and on classic bikes from 1981 to 2000. He also rode in the Classic Manx Grand Prix in 1984. Chris has written articles on racing history in classic magazines, and has published a book on historic racing motorcycles.  He still rides in race parades and historic events.
