Godier Genoud

Somebody posted up this link on Facebook this morning. Looks pretty nice if you are into the Godier Genoud endurance racers in the 70's

Enjoy.

I think we where pitted next to them at the Brands world endurance round in '78 or '79.
The nessie Kawasaki was there too, that was one strange looking bike.

I remember reading about Nessie in Two Wheels at the time.
It got a couple of great write-ups. Seemed like a great machine (as far as handling is concerned), belting past a BMW R90S as if it were standing still, and rock-solid stability. Oh, this was the late 70s, I might add...
The designer died a couple of years ago, I believe.

What is it with the cheese eating surrender monkeys making their custom bikes look FAT ? They all seemed to be too big .

I saw a load of them at the Bol D'Or in 1984 - the road bikes look better in the flesh than in pics. The racing bikes were awesome!!!!!!!
Classics.

Nessie

Phil - that is the first shot I have seen of the *original* Nessie. Most of the ones you normally see, are of the Z1000-version, raced at Le Mans and Spa - all the big endurance races of the 70's......be an interesting bike to ride methinks.....
