laird387 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Hi, This nicely restored, but still very much used, James Commando spotted at an 'Old Codgers' trial in the early 1990s. Enjoy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laird387 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Hi, Harry Stanistreet shows the way to tackle rocky steps with a limited ground clearance rigid James in the 1993 Shawforth Shake - the oldest Pre-65 trial, first run in 1972.

laird387 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Hi, This is Blackie Holden spotted in 1993 with his very tidy looking James. It didn't always look that way - when acquired it was very much a rusty heap of bits but a lot of careful restoration later and you see the result here. It was restored to ride - not for show - that's why the 'correct' Villiers 197cc motor has been replaced by the 250cc 32a unit and also the forks replaced. Enjoy.

laird387 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Hi, Another of my 'lost' negatives - I know this is Harry Stanistreet on his rigid James Commando - but not where or when? Current news reports tell me that Harry now has an Ariel Arrow engined device - I would like to see details of that. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
