It was called the Bemrose reunion trial, on 20th September1986. It was a pre 65 class added to the main event. I will have the results somewhere, but i think Sammy won it.
Venhill will make cables to your pattern, if required. Last week I sent them a clutch cable, and a throttle cable- admittedly it consisted of two parts because I use a device part way along to alter the ratio, but I was a bit surprised to get a call asking for a payment of £116. Think I will stick to making my own.
I used to go in to Andy Bones quite a bit in 1972, and they were well into racing then. They had a 50cc Itom at that time, but I remember they were doing a race kit for that Garelli engine in yours, consisting of a big alloy barrel, piston and head, and an expansion chamber which Ray Pettet made for them.
Its either one i owned or one which has been repaired in exactly the same way. The frame broke at the headstock and the extra gusset was put in on the front down tube to strengthen it. Its also got some work done above the footrests.
Keith, theres a ring of hardened steel balls which go in the sleeve gear. Hold them in place with grease,or some chain lube that has been sprayed in to the lid and stood for a bit.
That was at the Midland Classic hosted round of the British Bike championship on 16th July 1989. The bike had Ariel Leader hubs. It also has a pre war (1929) timing chest and outer cover.
The original bike at #42 has its correct front hub,not a Leader one.
Both of the above were at a Midland Classic trial on 16th July 1989. It was a round of the British Bike Championship.The results dont say where, but it looks like Critch Chase near Ambergate. You were entered on a Greeves, Deryk.
(I'm glad your memory is better than mine, Mick - did they call that area Ambergate - or am I totally lost!!! I have some images of that Greeves somewhere, cheers, Deryk)
IRC tyres, or Indian Rubber Company, should be road regal.
If it has a "E" number on the side wall, showing its type approved, then this type approval is for use on a road, therefore making it road legal, and the MOT examiner should pass them.
Any issues contact your local VOSA, test station or office, and they will instruct the MOT tester accordingly.
Its Inoue Rubber Co, no connection with Indian Rubber.
took a quick look at the frame and noticed that there,s is a crack at the head stock on the box section
do you know what the frame is made form and the best way to fix it tig/braze
thanks again
Hi Macdee, Early frames were prone to cracking where the box section meets the headstock. This was addressed on later frames with a reinforcing plate brazed over the last 50 mm or so of the box, up to the headstock. Around the same time, the swinging arm support plates on the frame were thickened up as they were very thin on the early ones.
The Renold 531 sticker on the swinging arm when the bikes were new related to just the swinging arm, and not the main frame.
It might be best to see a later frame to see what was done.
No, i wouldnt be interested.There is an event for modified bikes most weekends and quite local for me. Unless the classes you propose were to spring up all over the place i imagine the mileage involved would be prohibitive for some.
I dont object to a class in principle, and i'm sure some organisers would consider an additional route if there were enough entrants to make it worthwhile.
So if an original 1955 AJS and an original 1964 AJS are in the same class, where does the "competing on equal terms" bit come in to it ? What year is yours?
Vertigo typically arises from a problem of the inner ear balance mechanism. As a result patients commonly suffer loss of balance & in extreme cases, difficultly walking. I'm not sure that naming a trials bike after a balance problem is that smart.
Then again, another symptom of vertigo is a false sense of spinning or motion; so perhaps its the perfect name to fool those poor no-stop observers!
I agree, i suspect that nobody has told the spaniard that vertigo is an illness, associated with nausea, vomiting and the inability to balance.
