Oot on the bike the day for a wee practice.Its a bit rattly at lower r.p.m's ???Turns really quickly.Hopefully get another run oot before the Melville.Have to get bike fit as I've used bits of my body I didnae ken that existed. cheers the noo Brian

Bike ready for its first run oot tomorrow,new tyres and shocks.No ready for a Trial yet its was last August when I last rode a bike so going for a wee practice.Rode it round the garden Not quite up to my Scorpa but its the route I want to take then when Alf's finished ride Pre 65.

Had an enjoyable day at The Haggis Autojumble today, was good to catch up with old friends.Managed to get some more parts for Alf.Feeling a bit guilty as Alf's getting a back seat for the moment as my recent pur- chase,a TY250 twin shock is nearly fit for trialling. cheers the noo Brian

Thanks for the replies.Think my bike could be a later model,it has black lines on the tank decal and was registered in 1986.From the frame number 493-3***** its a E model, but on the TY site it could be an F model due to the tank decals ????? cheers the noo Brian

Just bought myself a 1978 TY250 for a stop gap as my C15 Pre 65 project is taking longer to build than I thought.Just a couple of quick questions:- pre-mix ratio? and what weight of fork oil and how much? cheers the noo Brian

Andy if you go on the Bantam Racing website I think you might get the information you are looking for.I think that one of the gearbox bushes is the right diameter for the wee end ???. cheers the noo Brian

Looks like 2012 might be a good year in Scotland with the news of Edinburgh St George running events for both Pre 65 and Twinshock.I can smell the Castrol R already . cheers the noo Brian

Better get my finger oot and bash on with Alf the C15.Does any one have the date for the Haggis auto jumble???? cheers the noo Brian

Cheers Charlie,no been up the shed for a couple of days, painting skirtings (keeps the peace ).Hopefully all the snow will be away by tomorrow and I'll get up the shed. cheers the noo Brian

Ross I Bought a smaller chain from C and D Auto's. Heard that I'll have to mod. the seal,I'll measure one up and get it from Simply Bearings. cheers the noo Brian

Treated Alf to an 18 tooth primary gear and new chain, also bought a cheap ignition of the bay for the bad boy. Its for a pit bike comes with cdi,rotar,trigger and magneto.Going to see if I can make it work,cost

Still a wee bit to go Ross,hopefully Springtime. cheers the noo Brian

Here's a picture of Alf Alf the C15 by twobzracing, on Flickr

A wee update on Alf the C15.Lacing up the rear wheel at the moment, went for a WM2 rim.Still collecting bits and pieces.Going to do a dry build with the engine in the frame so I can get an idea for the offset of the rear hub.Ah the dark nights don't you just love them. cheers the noo Brian

Don't know if its the same but from what I can remember all the Scottish clubs that run road racing in Scotland run national events no need to join the club unless you want to be in their championship(that's club championship). Closed to club events don't encourage 1 off rides and if the competitor likes the way things are run who knows they might do more events and join the organising club. cheer the noo Brian

OTF had a cracking(ten and a half hour drive,3 am start)day oot. Managed to pick up a cracking complete bottom end for £100(roller bearing big end ).Had a fleeting glance at the bling on show. Managed to shorten my list of bits for Alf.Couple of nice projects for sale but resisted(nice wee D1 in period trials trim £500).What I did notice that some people must taking loads of drugs /drink as some off the bikes for sale were well over what they are worth(or maybe I'm a bit tight).ORM+ nae joy with the monty bits.OTF hope your trial went well the day. cheers the noo Brian

Will see what I can do cheers the noo Brian

Who's going to Stafford?nipping down on Saturday(from Edinburgh- Early start )Looking for parts to finish off Alf my C15. cheers the noo Brian
