Jack Forrest used to be a works rider for BMW. I once watched him win an Allpowers race at Bathurst with a 650 SS. He beat all the Manx Nortons, but he was an exceptional rider. It was in about 1963. My mate hated Jack's guts because he had a big mouth, and my mate did not beat him. It was just before the two-strokes arrived. They ended that game.
That video of the Manx Nortons at Brands Hatch - can you imagine that on a big circuit like Bathurst ? Even at Phillip Island they were great. I think those races at Goodwood suit them.
