THE PEOPLE - A WINNING TEAM

 BOBBY HILL      KENNY EGGERS
BSA's win in 1954 was the result of having the right bikes at the right time, designed and ridden by the best people. In 1954 BSA had the cream of the crop. The bikes were designed by skilled BSA development engineer Roland Pike.  They were ridden by US BSA veterans like Tommy McDermott, Gene Thiessen and Al Gunter  and were joined by Bobby Hill and Dick Klamfoth when Indian and Norton withdrew from racing.  Project Daytona wants to honour these people and their outstanding achievement.
