Hi I am trying to track down any photos or information relating to the REG, a 250cc lightweight twin designed and built by Bob Geeson in the 1950's and ridden by many of the greats of the time: i.e John Surtees, Derek Minter, John Hartle, Ginger Payne, Norman Surtees, Bob Anderson, Sid Mizen, Fred Hardy, Arthur Wheeler, Jack Brett and Chris Vincent. I am interested because my father Douglas Dodd was a very close friend of Bob and was very involved in the REG bike throughout the 50's and early 60's.
The Sammy Miller museum has just completed a restoration of an early REG which I am planning on visiting later this week with my father.
I have posted a couple of scanned pictures that I have of the bike on:www.vintagebike.co.uk if anyone is interested.

Thanks

Nigel Dodd

Fred Hardy on the 250 REG.

Here is the 1962 version with Fred Hardy on board at the Gooseneck in the 250 TT where he came home 7th.

There was a good article on the REG 250 in Classic Racer not long ago, may be worth a look.

Hi Nigel
We have quite a few shots of the REG.
This is a nice weigh-in shot before the 1952 Lightweight TT
