A second look at Maurie Pearson's mid 1950's photo albums... #2

As I said before, I've much more left in my archive to use...however this Covid-19 lock-down is as good a reason as any to continue.... Maurie Pearson was a motorcycle enthusiast living in Sydney who passed away some years back at a good age...I'd know him for many years and often wondered about any motorcycle photos he may have had.. I never followed it up, but fate dealt me a good blow when I was offered two volumes of the large photo albums he had made up, mostly from the period 1954 to around 1960 and I suspect the photos were purchased over the years from the publishers of "Motorcycling in NSW". Some 100 pages or so with often 4 or 5 pics on each page they are a treasure trove I'm about to share with you, but not in any order. Dare I say it again...yes.... If you capture a photo for your use, please credit Maurie Pearson as the owner of same...
What have I this time for you? H'm, I've posted some of these on a Facebook site... never mind..
Well have some sidecars at Bathurst & some solos at Bathurst 1957, 1958...
So again, that said, coffee in hand, scroll through this offering...
