Keith Bryen, Aussie privateer on the Continental Circus 1953-1957, then a works Moto Guzzi ride...some more snaps of others in "the Circus" with him.....

Been a while since I looked back into the file I've got of photos kindly given to me by Keith and Gwen Bryen...if you're new to my blog, type in "Keith Bryen" in the search facility over on the RHS of this blog and peruse the quite voluminous numbers of photos from the 1950's Continental Circus era.....
Lets look at some more.....
Thanks again to Keith and Gwen for making them available to us.....

Beautiful stuff again, thanks a lot. Just a slight note regarding the last picture: the single ohc 'monoalbero' was the production racer for the few lucky ones,the works racer was a double knocker. Is it Bill Webster's bike per chance? Best regards
