The Place

Hi thanks for the post waited a long time to see this photo did see it in the flesh at the race of the year 1977 at Mallory park biggest problem Dennis had was using the Norton /AMC gearbox which couldn't take the power eventually he cut the gearbox of a 750 Honda which solved that particular proble...

beautifull cant wait to see it run, does it have a period engine or is it the Konny motors version and what capacity is it? please let me Know when and where you intend to run it dave

what a man? am meeting him soon

Malcolm very interesting about Dave Bexleys chassis braking in I.O.M. weight would have been an issue as I believe Dave was quite a big guy? Added to this is the assumption that you had to run them stiff if they weren't run on anything apart from a billiard table which I don't believe the I.O.M is??...

Remember seeing it at Mallory Park in 77 I think at the Race of the year.The second engine was in board of the main, on the passenger platform. turned round through 180 degrees so the drive sprockets could be matted together. The 2nd engine then ran anti-clockwise, it sure was both a sight and a sou...

Bill the history of the one iam working on is not documented, but its is believed to have originally been the Hadleigh Customs Honda 750 from 74 ridden by Dave Bexley. In the intervening years its not known what it housed but possibly a T500/T750. John and Jack Woods did the Konig conversion to Renw...

Bill, I wasnt trying to make a point, just stating facts that prove these iconic machines (not just Renwicks) were not only pushing the envelope but were also competitive on ocassions. I believe they should be preserved and run in competitions when at all possible so we can all see how ground breaki...

Bill the borets one the british championship in 74 and the silverstone international in the same year on a Renwick Konig

It appears that the Renwick in the cutaway drawing is the first one John built as a prototype with the disc in board. This was also used in the same period in formula one with fatal results when drive shafts failed. Don't think it was ever used in the production Renwicks the first of which was raced...

Thanks for the photo links very helpful, keep them coming anything is useful. sorry if ive caused a bit of a stir with it. Thanks Howard for the info on bump steer is very helpful especially to who ever I manage to get to pilot it when its finished. I have some photos some ware of the Renwick in the...

Thanks Chris I am seeing John Renwick in the new year which should help, sadly Gerry Boret is no longer with us and I believe his outfit went to Australia. however there is nothing like original photos for the placement of all the little bits and pieces.
regards Konig Freak

If any one has any photos of either Gerry Boret or George Odell's Renwick to aide the restoration i am currently carrying out either with or without bodywork, although without would be more useful. I have most of the technical info and the outfit is in reasonable condition its mainly for detail work...

hi Dave Bexley did in fact race a 750 Honda with centre hub steering it was a renwick the first production one after the prototype and the boret,s konig version, raced i believe under the Hadleigh custom banner but John Renwick is quoted as saying the engine was to heavy for the concept although Dav...

seen him today runs some sort of bike shop around Woking surrey rides a V-Max trike and looks well
