Hi ttspud

 

"Deryk, not sure if you know of, but second lap, after Hungry Hill, stopped and a chap called Giles Walley (I think) said he knew well the bike that I was riding......"

 

I reckon this is a picture, taken at the 1983 Talmag of, L to R, Sammy Miller, Julian Wigg and Giles Walley?

PHOTO:  MICK CLARKSON

 

Enjoy. 

 

(Mick has since shown the photo to Giles, who said: "Sorry, not me........"

Hi Deryk,

 

 

Thank you for posting that, brilliant find, yes, that's the chap!!!  He knew more about my own bike than I did! (I sent you an email, to your offroarchive gmail, with the AJS reg instead because I couldn't figure out pm)!!

 

All the very best,

TTSpud

 Hi Garry,

 

I've already answered your email........you could be lucky......

 

Enjoy

Hi Deryk & Charlie,

 

Deryk, ok, brilliant.. I am guessing that you found some piccies for me!!?? Thank you so much for looking.

 

 

 

Any news on the winner

 

And YES, results are out, a big congratulations to Roger Higgs for (once again) achieving the feat of winning the Talmag 2016 on an original pre-65 bike in difficult wet conditions against a raft of massively highly modified (non-pre65 in all honesty) bikes such as Charlie posted above as I guess Ben may also have been riding!!!

 

As I say, if a guy on a 140kg bike beats a guy on a 90kg bike, then you have been THRASHED!!!!

 

Anyway, a brilliant day out,

 

All the best,

TTSpud

Hi Guy's.

 

Hi Deryk.

 

Is your iMac trying to tell you what to do too?

 

I threaten to throw mine out through the "Windows" several times a day.

 

Takes me hours trying to find the photos, it hides, and have to move them to pictures to get them online.

 

Too Bl**dy clever, my central heating computer is trying the same trick at the moment,

 

I have got to get back to building bikes.

 

Regards Charlie. PS more good news on the "TRAD" front I will mail you.
