Jean-Claude Selini - silverstone - 85?

An easier one ?

What gave it away!!?

Alan Barnett on a Yamsel, lovely shot!!

Damn too slow.

Actually rode this bike a few times, felt a bit like a ladder with a wheel each end

Alan Barnett ?

Our friend Leggy can probably read Buster

Yes, Alan on Ron Herrings bike. A ladder ? Is that good ?

yeah....not hard when his name staring you in the boat-race is it

Well, sort of. It felt really weird but still went round corners real fast. We had to fit longer rear units and drop the forks through as far as possible to try and increase the ground clearance to accommodate slicks. Still not enough though as you will see from second shot which was caused by the clutch cover grounding.

The bike belonged to Joe Henderson as you can see.

Good old Esses at Mallory!!

Yes I used to spend ages removing details...but they still went within minutes!!
So dont bother now, didn.t think it was that clear though! :\

I'll take a wild guess at Stu Collins in the chair . Don't recognize the paint job but its unusual being a suzuki rg engied outfit something at the beck of my mind says Jeff Gawley coz Mac Hobson is too obvious

A dilema Andy! Jeff or Mac?......Its Mac Hobson 1977 Brit GP.

Ah yes, Herring fettled it - or at least at one stage did ? I've always thought that they looked too long and low, with the rider perched on top as it where. The post Mk 2 frames all gave the same impression ?

Isn't Sheene on his Dad's Bultaco.......monster Fontana brake and Bulseizo forks?

Thats exactly my thoughts on bike post 3994 Russ

Barry on the Bultaco at Tubbergen 1970.

The wrinklies do it again..... Is no 6 Derek Chatterton, or his namesake Mick? And that's Tom Dickie's head behind him on the third row ......?

Errrrrrrrrr yes and I agree on Tom Dickie

Well gang , there's a LOT of you hovering , lurking , ain't you got nought to say ?? Mr Fu Stirling ,Russ even peeps from the Colonies open up

Shhhhhhhhh Don's joined us Hi Don

Hi Phil,

YES, the Colonies are always lurking!

How's this for a bit of memorabilla in the form of cast aluminum:



It's true, a TZ750 head, right from King Kenny's spares box now firmly bolted to the top of my TZ373!

Don

Wow Don , I would love to get my hands on another OW31 --not that I owned the other --just helped prepped it and occassionaly giving it a blast don't think at the time of the history in your hands --now nearly 30 years later .......

Hi Phil,

Actually it is nearly 33 years later! Sometimes things just work out that way......and NO, I will not post a photo of the combustion chambers!

Don

Might be for you Don last time I swung a leg over a OW was mid '81 with Bill's and Daytona '83 with Tony's

I just went back over to check NATS. Nothing going on there right now except a bunch of lurkers!

Don

Not out of jail yet, Russell ! Who's the mystery punter on the Chat Yam #10 ? Is it Theo Bult ?

Well... you appear out of the blue less than a month ago and one of your first posts is aimed at Stu, in what could have been at the time thought as a gentle way but today can be understood differently



and then again



and then your last comments .......

If you have a personnal account to settle with Stu Avant may I respectfully suggest that you settle it outside of this forum. If you're just going to hide yourself under another alias and making vicious hints that add nothing to the debate it's not going to be very useful. I personnaly value to a high level the fact of being able to chat on this forum with people that, as a fan, I saw on the track a few decades ago, wether at Grand Prix level like Stu, Murray, Jeff or Steve Chambers , or at the local national race like Barry "Knickerbrook" Needle . And I honestly can't be bothered with personal resentments ruining the fun we're having .

And sorry if I cause offence, english is not my mothertongue

Again hear hear and well said .
Again I say 'Stu is'nt afraid to say who he is ' so how about it ???

Ago...Jarno...Valentino next? or back to Vaughn?

Your guess is as good as mine Nige --obviously someone who has to hide or has something to hide
Right got to go out
I won't hold my Breath

Hopefully he'll disappear up his own .... exhaust :yawn:

Not sure GD.....can't blow it up. I was thinking Steve Machin?

Is this the same bike as in the Tubbergen pic? I found a 1970 programme with Sheene entered on a Bultaco -Yam and here there appears to be an expansion chamber and tail pipe on the left of the bike- not so in other pic. So, TD/R2 engine slotted in a TSS frame ?

Barry raced five bikes in 1970, 2 Bultaco's, one for the 350 and one for 500cc class, and a Yamaha in the 250, they all look much the same but the 250 is not a TTS framed bike i.m.o.

And in the 125cc class a Bultaco and the ex works (Stuart Graham) Suzuki.

The Tubbergen pic is the 500cc class Bultaco (360cc).

Perhaps a few more....1970 shot on the 750 Norton.
