Fitted parts to the cub as a dry run and found the swingarm bushes to be worn lateral play allowing swingarm to move side to side about 2mm.......have heard about a silentbloc conversion to replace the originals ...has anyone had the pleasure of fitting this type of kit ? link to kit: http://www.dcclassicmotorcycles.co.uk/parts/swinging_arm.htm Seem to be good quality .

I have purchased a T20S tiger cub 1961 and in the process of stripping and rebuilding much fun and head scratching on the horizon I think...removed engine as it would not kick over and have partially stripped it out wha a mess !! looks like I have my work cut out....

Are there any forum members who are going to this event next weekend? It will be the first serious test of my Bultaco after I bought and rebuild it...

I've been building a 350 Matchless springer from roadster parts that i've gathered up over the years, but have been looking at swapping out the frame for one made by Progressive Classic Products.

Does any one know if the nostalgia trial is a single route [no clubman option on entry form] if so I wonder what level they are intending to set the sections

I've looked for a contact for Bartram frames but probably looking in the wrong places as usual so thought I would try the forums advice ? If anyone has a con…

Spares ordered at closing time yesterday from In Motion/Bultaco UK arrived this morning in far flung Fife. Told them there was no hurry too. Even spelt my name right. Brilliant.

Does anyone have any personal contact with Bill Beveridge? as he doesn't seem to enjoy communicating via phone calls and emails and I'm getting a bit frustrated to say the least trying to get hold of him. I know that he has a reputation for being slow to deal with stuff. Hopefully someone may be able to help.

Sorry about the poor quality but these photo's have been around for a few years! Taken in 1969 at a Chelmsford & Dist mcc Trial at Broomfield Pits. Shows Don DR Smith riding his works Cota 247 Reg No UMV 10F That had won the Team Prize at the SSDT that year along with Gordon Farley & Lawrence Telling. As ever in one shot DR had the obligatory 'Ciggy' on. Dave Cox
