January 12, 201412 yr I notice on here http://www.classicoffroadshow.com/ that the above bantam is to be on show at Telford next month, but what is it?
January 12, 201412 yr Well how about that. Only the other day I mentioned on another thread, watching Norman Hanks ride his Bantam trials when I had just started riding trials bikes in our local quarry. Then I read that it's going to be on display at Telford... If it's the same bike, which I'm sure it must be, I remember it as being a chrome and alloy finish, alloy tank with orange stripe. The frame, if I remember correctly again, but it's been 40 years, had a larger than normal diameter tube running from the headstock to the seat and down to the swingarm pivot. Maybe that's the big beam reference? Looking forward to seeing it again, some very fond memories of bike time in that old quarry. I see they'll also have on display the genuine article of Rossi's championship winning 2001 Aprilia 125 - except he won the 500 title that year on a Honda...
