More on the 1957 racing season for Aussie privateer Keith Bryen.....

This is the sixth blog I've done featuring the racing photos of Keith Bryen, who led the life of a privateer on the Continental Circus during the early to mid 1950's, I guess ever hopeful of a factory sponsored ride, although Keith is too modest to acknowledge it.
During the TT of 1957 he rode a factory 350cc AJS and as with all the privateers, they started the season in Europe riding in minor race meetings before travelling to the IOM for the TT races.
Those following Keith's exploits will know he kindly sent me a CD-R with many of his photos on and I've featured them...
This features some of the IOM, Oulton Park and the Dutch TT shots......
Thanks Keith and Gwen....
