Help needed

Does any one know of a twin bedded room in B&B of guest house, hotel etc for 2018 T .T week

Thanks M.A

Where did all the Yam TZ 4cyl engines go?? l don't need one but just thought--in late 70's and though the 80's nearly ALL outfits in top classes used them

Were are they ALL now??

Yep, the good old "Steam Racket" a?

Helmut Fath U.R.S & an early Chris Vincent FANTASTIC STUFF

In the photo of them jumping the bridge, you can see a 16" front wheel?

Very Well said Bill

I agree, you would really regret it in the future Geoff, don't part with them, you worked hard to win them mate

Oh yes, are you running the Norton gearbox backwards & upside down?

Nice looking outfit, never seen one running with the carbs at the front of the motor and right hand chain drive? Good luck with your racing.

Dave, the 4" tube twisted where it joined the main frame, If I recall correctly (1974 remember) John Renwick had the broken unit back and may have given Dave Bexley a replacement. Let me know what you find when you get the unit back.
Cheers Malcolm

Great footage wonder what that outfit is really powered by? or perhaps all the others are only 125' s?

Wow, That photo brings back fond memories, Dennis you may not remember 1974 Snetterton (Old) Norwich straight hairpin our (Hadleigh Honda) forks broke and you managed to get round the outside before we hit the "Litarge" on the run off road.

If you;re reading this Dennis I hope you are keeping well ...

The Renwick that Dave Bexley had a Honda motor fitted in broke in haft at the 1974 TT. It broke were the 4" sidecar spine tube joins the main frame. I think this was probably due to the weight of the Honda engine and the fact that it was only mounted on the alloy tray with no other fixings.

Dave ...

Remember seeing an A65 outfit with front well drive at the 1974 TT, I don't think it finished though, but must be in the competitors list for that year?
Wonder if it is still around, seemed to be good engineering for those days

Thanks Peter, it would be really nice to hear from the Southend guys again
