HI,

 

As no doubt you have read, Guy Martin will be riding in the Kinlochleven event this year.  He will be using an Ariel HT5 loaned by Simon Sharp  one of the partners in Hope Engineering, Barnoldswick, the specialist precision engineers already involved in other of the Martin TV activities such as the buggy.

 

To give you some idea of the preparation of Simon's bikes, here is a photograph taken by Barry Robinson, at a trial in Yorkshire recently, of Simon on another of his bikes.

Hi will,

 

Andrew Weddle was at the Talmag, from Presteigne look you, with his 1935 model 80 based Panther, as you will see in Issue 38 of ORRe.

 

I reckon his helmet pre-dates the bike.................

 

Good luck with the knee, and remember you mustn't kneel down ever again..................

Yes I spoke to him at the talmag. One of 3 panthers there . Yes you are right the engine is twin port 1938 engine. But its a RP frame I have with 250 brakes. Plus the gearbox is from my 1937 trial bike. So I am calling it 37.
