Pete Kellond


Pete Kellond was inducted as a Greater Vancouver Motorsport Pioneer recently by the GVMPSociety. His accomplishments as a road racing motorcyclist helped the sport grow and flourish and continue to this day. Here's a couple clippings from the 1960s when Pete leaned into the turns at places like Westwood and even Daytona.

A book featuring Pete, along with 12 other new GVMPS Pioneers and smaller bios of over 100 more, can be found at various locations in the Greater (uh, Metro) Vancouver area including Trev Deeley Motorcycles.

I believe this is my 250th post. Posts, much like time, marches on. Which means I've already mentioned Pete once before on this blog. Repeating myself already but not with scrapbook content. Guys like Pete are worth mentioning more than once.
