I am indebted to the family of Ernie and Wanda Pico for the following wonderful set of photos. For some information regarding Ernie Pico who is most famous for making rapid Velocettes which were capable of beating the Works Harley Davidsons in Flattrack events, please see my first post:Ernie’s wife, Wanda was also a significant character in the American racing scene, as she had a highly successful business making motorcycle leathers for all the top riders and teams.
I will let the wonderful photos do the talking:
