The Place

Derek Blackbourne ?? sure his passengers first name was Barry .....

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

Cheers Mick, you're right it was Barry Dunn, this was their bike in '83 ish if I remember rightly

Ahhh! Lectrons Many hours of polishing the needles on a wet stone to get the TZ to fire up. Sorry, off topic

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 !!!

Not as finicky to set up as Dellorto's though.

Or the clutch exploded and smashed the plastic float bowls off as just another way of getting them to catch fire!
