Re: Derek Blackbourne
Hi I haven't seen Derek for a while now, someone said a while ago that he'd opened a bed and breakfast in Skegness
his passenger was Barry Dunn i think,
Dave Allen might be know (supreme motorcycles)
have spoken to an old friend Graham Bertram, now and again

I always thought they were just for selling with an engine so you could say “with carbs” !!
Didn’t think anyone had the patience to run them more than once !!!
