JOHN WRIGHT-BAILEY

[RARING TO GO]

Does anyone out there know if the BRS outfit that the Boret's rode after they finished with the Renwick was built by John Wright-Bailey? Any pics anyone?

Seems I got off on the wrong track I thought I may have owned a BRS it seems I didn't. So In 1979 I bought a Konig center hub outfit from a guy in Northampton. It was similar to Foale's design but with a normal swing arm. It was constructed from 3" tube and the lay out with the goose neck laid over to the left hand side, the front shock was on a cantilevered top wishbone (Foale again) I contacted Tony and he did not build it, any ideas?

This outfit was built jointly by John Wright Bailey and Roger Edwards at Johns petrol station at Rainham, Essex
It was a beautiful hub steered outfit and powered by well engineered copies of the Konig motor which were
produced by a local precision engineering factory. Chris Vincent was offered a ride in the TT and spent time
working on the project. Unfortunately John and Roger fell out and the machine was never raced in anger.
I am still in contact with Roger. He was very well known as a Vincent and Norton sidecar driver in the 70's

Ace, First a tardy happy new year to you and yours. I was told Faron built the engine, and it was better quality than the Konig. Does my 1979 outfit ring any bells with you?

Found the previous discussion on these !
As mentioned , Derek Bayley had the 2nd "sister" outfit to Gerry Boret , two were built at the same time,both Yamaha powered , in fact at end of 1975 season Brands meeting,when Gerry was still running Konig engines,Derek's Yamaha engine was removed after the racing and was taken away to be used as a template. I might have been mistaken in thinking it was a BRM when it might have been a BRS
