Subject: [CR]Paramounts in Europe question

Hi all, Does anyone know if Paramounts were ever ridden in any of the European Classics or Tours during the 60's or 70's? I don't remember any American riders of note in Europe during that time. Were Paramounts considered as race worthy as the famous European bikes? I was pretty isolated from the pro scene back then & my small circle of riding buddies considered the Paramount to be the bee's knee's of bikedom. I was in hog heaven when I got my shiny black & chrome P13. Still riding a replacement black & chrome P13 with much second childhood glee. Greg Brooks, Ridgetop,TN.
