That's like Bike porn! So much good stuff in those pics! Are those Racycles in the first couple pics? Smith motor wheel?
 
Those pictures of the Motordrome are fabulous!
It looks like brand X was well represented that day. It doesn't get any better than an autographed Wells Bennet out on the board track with the mighty Excelsior Twin.
 
With the basket on the handlebars and the size of the crank sprocket on the bike in the first picture, someone was going to make some fast deliveries.
