Sorry Mike-of course yours is the HJH. From what's being said they might have to split pre60 into classes or give them a handicap, we already have ours :D :D :D :D
The main point of having a go on the Bantam was to see pretty much what it would have been like to be a schoolboy racer in the early 60's as I figured that's what they would have ridden, not some flash Metisse or even a Maico or Montessa but rather what was in the shed, dads old bike he rode to work or something like that.
Anyways it was a hoot.

would be good to see classic dirt have there  marque as pre 65-while old folk can still ride and bring them out to promote older class,then flow on to clubs and nationals.

Brilliant thanks Bigtoe 8).  I had a lot of fun watching that.  Not nearly as much fun as you would have had doing it though  8) 8)
Looking for YZ250C parts NOS if possible

The only triple jumps he would have been doing are the hop, skip & jump.

Bugger!

Can I ask what went wrong when you crashed going into the left-hander? I've watched it a few times, and haven't been able to work out what brought you undone.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Nathan  .... first race on Sunday was pre 75 250 event 3 and the first corner was as greasy as a butchers p----k ....the line was out wide stay clear of the traffic and gun it thru the dipper and balance it thru the off camber left hander.

A special thanks to my factory mechanic who jetted the Tm to perfection and gave me a G up after every race  ;D

Race 1 of the event. Nearly binned it at the start. Thanks to Lawsey for capturing the moment. Also thanks to Flying DG for the most competitive bike I've ever had. I had the fastest lap time on this, faster than on my '77 400.

What's the story on the bike Brad? That looks to be a hell of a hole shot  ;).
