The Place

Mick Whortley, sponsored by Bill Boddice?????

I can remember racing against Mick Wortley in the 70's Ian. How do I remember this? Because the cheeky bastard looked at the Kirby BSA and said "I remember this outfit. It used to go well".

Mick Boddice on the tripple, BSA though.

Yes, it was a BSA. Clive Pollington was the passenger

I think this was a Kawasaki?

It didn't start out with the triple Roly. It originally had a twin (probably Triumph) and had a 16" front wheel also. The trident motor and 10" front wheel were later additions believed to be early 1980's.

Tell me this then what date of manufacture do modern classics put on their entry forms when we had the old Enfield it had a cut off date for eligibility as do all of the classic classes ....I ONLY ASK so don't go giving me grief

Annette, as fas as I am aware, it would be based on the date of the engine. We enter ours as a 1972 as that is the year of the engine. The chassis was made in or around 1968.

i understand that TB ......but some of the NEW modern classics do have new modern classic engines in them don't they? maybe not .someone will tell me.. of that I am sure

What do you mean Annette I would think ALL the engines in use have been rebuilt at least once and had internals upgraded etc. I don't think you can get a brand new classic engine as used in a sidecar other than maybe the Weslake / Nourish

That's a hard one Annette, I know a guy who won the 500cc Vintage championship (solo). I lent him an amal smoothbore carb, he then made a carb from that period which looked identical to a period amal but to all intents the internals were Amal smoothbore.

Weslake that's the one ........SO you can get a brand new engine then to put into a brand new chassis and run it in the classics ........ pity the poor old Konig is not included mind you TB after being out with them in Gemany I think they may just blow the rest away

Seriously annette, do you still think that Konigs use shellac to seal the heads!!
they use modern technology.
So you & Robin never used silicone sealant on the Enfield?

why does this topic end up being taken so seriously I only asked what date a new modern classic put on their entry form ... no answer as yet a bit of silicone sealant is a lot different than a new everything think I had better leave it there my classic sidecar friends don't want to fall out with anyone
