Correct me if I'm wrong, I think this is 1932, Jimmy Simpson fettling his 500 Norton International Model 30 - judging from the architecture and the Shell sign, in Sweden or Norway??? My multi-adjustable Laverda Jota bars (then fitted to my Guzzi) once came loose ridding the big dipper of Paddock Hill, Brands Hatch. While still on the move my index finger had to double up as a 10mm Allen key. BP

Spa Francorchamps?
I would say Saxtorp in Sweden. The sign says "Bensin" - petrol in Swedish.
/D
Sweden. For sure not Norway :)
Saxtorp 1930, Swedish GP, Jimmie Simpson adjusting the front brake. The year after he crashed in the lead, on an AJS.

What the hell Ben, I have a Tommaselli made Laverda Jota multi-adjusting bar on my Speed Triple...
Wonder if my index finger is same size as yours.

I forgot my compasses for my GCSE maths exam and being too awkward and teenage to put my hand up and ask for one, i used my thumb and forefinger with pencil rubber banded to it.
