So my mate claiming he has James Bonds bike ! Chapman frame number 007 could be right then ? (Only joking about the Bond bit.) I have seen it a couple of times but its well hidden behind many other gems. Edited December 13, 201114 yr by jon v8
December 14, 201114 yr was anything on the bike bsa? Would that matter? It was surely supposed to be a modern bike of its day. No arcane rules to be complied with in those times.
December 14, 201114 yr Got to admit i dont know the bike in question. Anybody got any piccys they could post out of interest?
December 14, 201114 yr Would that matter? It was surely supposed to be a modern bike of its day. No arcane rules to be complied with in those times. Sure it doesnt matter, couldnt remember the bike, wondered if the bsa bit had any significance?
December 15, 201114 yr Sure it doesnt matter, couldnt remember the bike, wondered if the bsa bit had any significance? Sorry ND, I misinterpreted your post as being a criticism of a "modded" British bike. It is a Bantam engined machine produced in the 70's - I remember seeing them at the Scottish.

December 15, 201114 yr I may be a bit hazy on this,but I thought the Chapmans were built on a DT175MX Yam motor,same as the BSA Tracker ?
