Re: Skype name in profile

I have to use Skype to keep in touch with my Aunt who is in her late eighties now and obviously will not change her "modus operendi" now. All my other Skype contacts have either now passed away, including Eric Goodwin, or in other cases just disappeared. I do actually still have Steve Engl...

Not good - again. This sort of news is now becoming more prevalent the older I get unfortunately.

Skype name in profile

Not wishing to undermine the great work Steve does on this site to maintain security but I have recently been bombarded with calls on Skype from West African sounding women whom I have been forced to block. I don't know where they harvested my Skype name from but I have removed it from my profile on...

Re: Sidecar TT missing chassis/engine Part 2

"1978 Graham Milton/John Brushwood – Milton Magnum (i assume from the post above this was a Milton chassis and Magnum engine?)" The proper title for the machine was British Magnum. The engines, gearboxes and chassis were all constructed from scratch by messrs. Milton, Wakefield and William...

Re: Sidecar TT missing chassis/engine

Could anyone confirm the chassis for the Bingham's. I assume Padgett's were simply the sponsor? I think you have a massive problem to list all the chassis as most of the programme entries were the sponsors and not the actual chassis manufacturer. In the early days the sitters would have been the or...

Re: Sidecar TT missing chassis/engine

Bingham 1982 - Yamaha, 1984, 1985 & 1987 almost certainly Padgett.
Newman 1986 - Yamaha

Too old to remember any more....

Re: Tony stark

I remember him also. Full marks for attempting to look for him - I have offspring who were turned against me and I was denied access when they were kids - one even died recently and I was told to stay away. I would always advise reconciliation as there is always two sides to every story...

Re: Files from Bill Smith (former competitor)

Hi all - back in the land of the living (I think, it's a long story) but you are all correct on the Kirby BSA which is photographed at the 1967 TT where Terry & John finished 6th on a 500cc BSA A50 powered outfit behind 5 BMW's. Yes we still own the outfit which is currently in the National Moto...
