Pretty sure they were different, Didn't Gordon pantall own the first one that Croz rode?
When Gardner was riding them Roger Marshall rode as his team mate on a fully faierd one.

Well I'll put that one down as Wayne Gardener. The helmet threw me completely, just didn't recognise it. Anyway, here's another pic, probably easy, and complete with a bit of light getting onto the film.

TONY HEAD

Yep I agree Tony Head

Been out for a bit , well if I did'nt agree with you all , it would be the firing squad for me !!!!

Right name the bike the rider and his bro !! easy

KR500 belonging to Hugh Ballington, his brother Dozy I dont suppose that was his real name?

Derek.

YES YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN

Dozy had very trick Triumph weslake .. not 100% sure but did Bob Smith not ride that bike in a twin class ??

Have a nagging feeling that the RGB Weslake that Bob Smith rode belonged to a bloke in a wheelchair named Gary Bryan.

Hey guys I put this in the tiddler forum but no answers can anyone
recognise this ,spotted it on the German classic-motorrad site, a V config 125cc

not sure about v config very early Harald Bartol ??

it's my mind playing games come to think of it do remember the guy in the chair!!

Ok when i first looked at it,it appeared to be a V but now looking again looks to be an inline twin.

Ha! yep I knew that (once!)

I haven’t got a clue
But running twin Moto plat ignitions?? And the rad well over the front wheel must have made interesting handling

And also with the hi battery over the rear

even been on the Paioli web history ... they supplied Italjet !!

that red ? bike was the Vendetta very trick chassis for it's time

Has anyone got a pic of this machine?? :

Yep , Glenn , thats correct , Gary Bryan was a very , very good sidecar racer before being confined to a wheel-chair , he is still sponsoring , on the RGB Weslake , a rapid piece of kit , rider now Mike Hose

The RGB ? , this is the only one I have , not the best , i'm afraid , given to me by Gary Bryan

Wow, had no idea, Gra. (Nothing new there, then...). But that's gotta be around 24 years ago, to hear he's still involved is great news. And Mike Hose is a damn good pedaller, so I bet it's still raising eyebrows....

Yes , Glenn , Mike Hose is damn quick , IIRC broke the lap record , for it's class at Donington last July , i'll try and check the results for you

He won 2 races at Donington , then 2 second places at Cadwell , looks like he only made those starts
Also races a rapid Arrow with some verve

I have a pic of Stan Woods on one of Gary Bryans bikes will dig it
out Aintree 85 don't know wether it is the one your looking for?

My mind is playing tricks again but was it on straight bars, with nose fairing??

Stan Woods Aintree 15-6-1985

Your mind is as good as mine , it seems , cannot remember i'll ask Buster when he's on later , hopefully

Battery running external water pump??

Cracking picture Gary.

Another rider for ID, who's this please?

Errrrrrrrr Andy Hawkins ??

it's not that easy with yours is it Phil?

No , David , you could say , ' it's a bit of a bugger '

Oh, forgot the name, I just thought that Hawkins was a sponsors name, oh well. So here's another, looks to me like a Transatlantic team member judging by the size and style of the number.

The name Alan Ward rings a bell

miles baldwin?

Mike Baldwin? no dont think so?

He only raced the Trans once in1978, on a TZ750, then broke his leg was out for a season dont remember him racing Trans again?

Sorry , chaps , just been watching the '82 Transatlantic from Brands ,one of the dozen or so tapes I recently found , and happy to tell you it is indeed Alan Ward , so it's a or to me , well done Phil ,
I await your congatulations

He finished last in the second race

Nope never heard of him!, well done then Phil!.

Yes Buster me old mucker , it's one of them things that sticks in your mind , mainly because he was completely out of his depth , and , i'm trying not to be unfair , was probably more suited to a club meeting at Carnaby ( poor sod )

As it happens I was reading about this Trans meet the day before yesterday & there was another guy in the USA team completely out of his depth, cant remember his name either!

Dan Chevington ???

Dont talk to me about Carnaby ! That place has to be the sh******e of the World !
Been there ONCE and hated every second, spent most of the day in the ambulance after being punted off by local heroes !

Dont think it was him? his name reasonably well known, who was in the 1982 team, Spencer, Baldwin? Aldana, Schlachter, Ward, ?

No that was Quasimodo!!

We went there for the last round of the British Championship in 1980 , Steve ,i've documented it well on here , we hated it , not fit for the purpose 30 / 40 foot wide down to 15 / 17 in the ' corners ' with the in-built grass growing between the slabs

Not going to put the vid on again , Buster , but sure i'm right BTW it's Chivington
