1985 Battle of the Twins – Lucchinelli vs Church

We knew that Marco Lucchinelli won the Battle of the Twins in 1987 on a Ducati 851 at Daytona, but what we didn’t know until we saw this rare video, that he also took part in the 1985 BOTT race and that he battled against four time Daytona winner Gene Church who was riding a Harley Davidson.

Enjoy the video and if you were impressed by Church’s Harley Davidson dubbed ‘Lucifer’s Hammer’ you’ll find a excellent post on the history of this racing bike with some awesome pics on Visual Gratification.
