Looks like Siggi Schauzu?

Looks quite young for Schauzu, but if it's a contemporary pic to the Fath shot, then it's probably 1960. Great pics, Dommie.

The one labeled Colin is that Colin Seeley ?
This takes me back to my childhood, Florian Camathias, Fritz Scheidegger, Helmut Fath, i was probably around 12 years old but bike racing mad.

Hi, Fath is right on the other pic although different time to the mystery BMW outfit. Fath would be on his URS at this time. Thanks for the comment, will try to locate more.

Hi Renn, i must admit that i bought this pic from the small air museum on the Ronaldsway Airport when my wife took me there for my 40th to watch the Manx GP in 08. On the back is Racing Photos IOM, i have a phone number so will ring and find out later.Kevin, do you remember when and where the pic showing #14 sidecar outfit was taken ? Even Max Deubel is now engaged in the hunt ..

Say hello to Max for me, he sent my dad a birthday card a couple of years ago for his 70th.

Pity enough I'm not personally acquainted to Max, but the chap who runs

Arsenius Butscher, Colin Seeley's special friend ?
Posted 04 March 2011 - 19:27
Not a friend of my dad either, he rammed my dads chair going into a chicane so stopping my dads passenger from getting out so my dad repaid Butscher by blocking his passenger from leaning on the second half of the chicane. Can you get place or year?

65 yes, passenger yes also.'65 or '66 I guess. Wolfgang Kalauch in the chair ? Eventually he changed to a left hand outfit.

Spot on 1965 French GP Rouen. My father was in this race, dont know his number, think he finished 10th. This is the meeting that i was on about in tales of the unexpected.Looks like the hairpin at Rouen.

Don't know if you have seen this.....I love the hammy commentary by Raymond Baxter. I was wondering if there is any info on "Jenks" I believe he did some car race as navigator to Sterling Moss in Italy.

I forgot to say as a young child I saw someone in the IOM can't remeber who it was but a German outfit in red and a very quick pair they may have won, I couldn't believe how he lifted the chair over the pavement and took in effect a solo line.

I think it was 70 and a left hander it's so long ago and I was only a kid I remember we went over to see Mick Grant it could have been Bedstead ?

Charlie Freeman style paintjob, but not sure he had a solo/bolt on chair.

At old, long Spa ?
Posted 09 March 2011 - 16:31
Looks very much like Scarborough with the paddock below the circuit and the gate leading out to the start area. Never seen a photo without the "safety" fence what would be to the left in this shot. Just had it confirmed must be Olivers Mount, she who must be obeyed recognises the white building ;)
Worth a look at http://www.oliversmo...f=circuit&id=21

Didnt Charlie Freeman state that he had the ' Fastest Manx powered outfit in the World'?

Hi guys,
For those that are interested,heres a vid of Roger Dixon winning a race at Mallory in 2006,the year before before he was tragically killed at Jehonville a couple of years back.Some of you may remember him from the TZ750 chair days.Commentary is a bit naff,but the action is good.Don't blink at the start.Enjoy

I wondered at the time how they got away with this concept. How did they fit in with fellow competitors ?
Posted 19 March 2011 - 14:13
IIRC , disliked by most , who thought it was cheating , which it wasn't , as it complied with the rules , as did Rolf Biland's creations in later years , although the FIM created a B2 ? class for him
Chris Vincent was in the process of constructing something when the ACU changed the rules , I believe
