Scott-Super%20Squirrel%20-1929-1.jpg

do you still have to stop for a pint of belgium beer after each lap , i am sure it was compulsory for us sidecar crews back in the eighties. will.

Both very intresting machines and obvousley ridden to there best I have seen one of these Scotts at a trial and wonder if ether of them would be welcomed in the pre 65 Scottish 2 day

Why do you ask the question ?

Just curious would be a change to the never ending supply of Cubs and ex gpo bantams . The only concern I have are the sutability for large long and heavy trials bikes , to the point would anyone get an entry on a early lambretta ?

That is the good thing about Mons,

nobody is complanig about,forks,carbs,ignitions etc.Just enjoy the weekend,have a good time with old friends and ride your bike.A lot of spectators with a good knowledge of the bikes.And you can see unusual bikes there.That's why i took my Ducati there for the last years and the plan for 2015 is riding the 1964 Hercules 50cc there.

Totally agree, it all to do with the ambiance and enthusiasam and best of all the welcome and the many friends from Germany, Netherlands,Belgium and France that i have made over the years at this event

Hi,

Way back when - as we dinosaurs like to explain - there was a fascinating development of the Scott theme (they had phenomenal power delivery over a very large rev. range) which is why Alfred Scott's basic 1920's design lasted through all the years of Scott production right up until about 1966 when Aerco Jigs and Tools bought out the rights and produced the MOST desirable road machine ever, the Aerco Scott Squirrel - with modern, in its day, suspension but still the same basic motor churning out power that would leave my Vincent standing.

Yet another example of perfect engineering prospering - but sadly, there's not a lot of it about............

Scotts are very much an aquired tast love em or hate them ! I must love them i have 5 . i have a 1914 cut away engine in my front room it gets more attention than the square electrical picture thing as the engineering was right from day one you mention aerco it all continued with george silk and yamaha claimed a reverlution with the rd350lc it all been done before . it time to get fettling the next mount Sunbeam S8 trials
