It was definitely the '70 SSDT winning bike, Mick confirmed that to my dad. Twin coil and twin plug motor with the strange IRZ carb'. I think the one in the video clip is a totally different bike. Not sure though. Thanks for your input.

Anybody remember these? Vic Camp built these for a one make race series. Based on an off-roader, the Suzuki TS250. It makes me smile every time I open the shed and see it.....

Schedule and a couple of reports.....

Although my main interest is trialling, I'm a bit involved in classic road racing. My wife runs Spencer Racing, running bikes mostly with the CRMC. Over the last few years our 1967 Suzuki 200 racer has won the CRMC Classic Ultralightweight Championship 8 times. This season we'll be putting around 15 bikes out on track, mainly in the Junior Production class with Yamaha 600's. We're fielding a couple of bikes in the Aircooled 500 class too, both with the CRMC and BHR. Also running a couple of Honda 125 racers with a new class with BHR. A bit more info' here... www.spencerracing.co.uk

I will if you ask...... www.spencerracing.co.uk

That rings a bell.

The 'dialogue' isn't important. It's two of my mates deliberating what to do next to a race engine.

Hmmm, not sure if Terry is any relation to me or not. My dad knew him well, he was never mentioned as a relative. I can remember him from the '70's. Saying that, there are Brailsfords in my family, all interested in trials riding.

If you PM me your email address I'll send you a bit of a movie clip of something you may have seen in the chaos that was my dad's workshops.

Interesting point about the detonation. In my two strokes I use 75% Superunleaded and 25% Avgas. Bit of extra protection with the lead content. I 'borrow' the plastic gloves from fuel stations and carry some of these with me. A Camelbak is handy too.

I think it's when Mick had it. Looks well with the alloy mudguards on.

Slack the brake and clutch lever clamp bolts off slightly so the levers move if you fall off, rather than snap.... Seriously, just go out and have fun.

Prestigious? Not a word I've heard to describe me before.

Update: Three of the four old mates have now been reunited via telephone..........

Extend your clutch line.......

A baby monitor which plugs into the wall next to your bed with the sender unit in the same shed as the bike. A breaker bar by the door to pick up as you sneak out of the house.

We used to run around 20:1 in the old days...... Like bloody treacle..

Don't apologise. I remember the good times with him. Check your messages, Dougie Hazlehurst's contact details on their way to you.

That's my old mate Rob Gourlay on an Egli Gold Star 500. Rob had raced since 1968 at top level and was killed by a drunk Polish kid three times over the limit in 2008. He was on his Triumph Trident about half a mile from home when he was hit head on by a Rover on the wrong side of the road.

John, check your messages, I've sent you Bill Milner's contact details,

If we kept all the bikes we'd sold, given away, broken, et cetera we'd be rich men. Here's some of what I get up to..... www.spencerracing.co.uk

I use Morris fully synthetic MX two stroke oil at 40 to one in the trials bikes and 30:1 in the race bikes, never had a plug whisker. Doesn't smoke like the old days but always a good coating of oil when I strip the motors.

Great to be able to help out. I think I remember Mr Darby.
