Isle of Man (Great Britain) - 46th ISDT | 1971
(special thanks to Michel De Corte)
|
And again... there was no Belgian six days team at 1971 !!!
And again... private rider Michel De Corte (also in 1970 !)
(nr. 32 Hercules - silver)
made the trip to the Isle of Man !

Michel De Corte with his Hercules.
Look at the fuel-tank...he prepared his Hercules with a aluminium BSA fuel-tank !
It was the same Hercules he rode in Spain (1970). |
|
Left riding !!! And full speed in the corners...
Just like the TT !
|
 |
 |
Respect ! Again (just like in 1970) Michel did the trip on his own. And this for 6 days.
Here Michel at a check-point, you can see a Dutch and Swedisch driver looking at the lonely 'yellow driver'...
|
|
Beautiful sky-lines !
|
 |
 |
Michel on the gaaaaz...
Lifting up the front wheel...wheelie ??? (yes, yes...there is the photo-man...)
And this for 6 days, he rode...'full-throttle'...the way to silver! |
|
Here you can see what Michel wrote on
the back of a photo:
'It's hard to be the only Belgian driver at the Six Days.
There were lots of 'ravitaillement and fuel' problems and it isn't easy to find a solution.
