Never seen one like that before. Would be a bit of engineering involved to do that.

American dirt track possibly?

The engine would almost certainly have been used for dirt track where a right side shift is an advantage. My imported DT1 flat tracker was set up for right foot shift.

OR roadracing tho not sure if the single cylinder 250 was ever used for tar. But as Firfo says-almost certainly dirt track.
That would stir them up at Napean.

Suit a bloke with one leg ;)
-
Not if it's his right leg you boofhead :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
-
He could ride it backwards like the Jammer did in one chance to win ! ya get extra points for that ::)

I never said what leg did i ::) now get out there and sort me out a trolley for the classic :-* heard Joan towelled you girls up on the trollies at the dirt track ;D
What a load of wobblers , what a load of wobblers ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Mate-if Joan toweled us up he's stretchin' the truth a bit. The onlt towelin' he did was to give us a nice rub down afterwards-as is becoming of a new passenger bitch. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
If he was within 3 laps of you blokes you should give it up ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D hes got a taste of it now and hes on the up while you blokes are obviously past your prime ::)
I hear hes having an outfit built for next season , Joan and the Dutchie are taking on all comers at the nats next year . With The Dutchies speed and Joans bike preperation ;) ;) what would Joan say ??? you blokes are Faaaaarrrrrrked ;D

You must have failed the Naplan test EML.
It's Nepean ;D
Back then there were a lot of Japanese oil burners fitted to Slider frames, the reason being that most of the guy's who rode them also rode Jawa's, Jap's or the like and they all had brittish gearbox's.
I remember getting off my standard KX250 and onto my Hagon Jawa, going for the brake into the R/H at Nepean and finding top gear instead.
That was exciting. :o

No chance its a "works" engine? Didn't Honda build a right side shift model for Jim Pomeroy. If that were true it would be very collectable. J

My first half dozen bikes were right hand change. Why did any body want it on the left? ???
Like all these bloody cars with the wiper switch where the blinker should be.
No wonder Volvo drivers are a problem ::) :)
cheers

Strangely after getting back into the scene after 35 years I aquired a couple of Bultacos both with right hand drive. I'm now used to it and it feels weird to go back to left hand drive. I should mention I'm left footed but kick straighter and longer with my right. Jerry PS There was bloke running around at the weekend up at Undera alternating between a MK5 Pursang and a 410 AJS Stormer. Both right side shifters but reverse patterns. I take my hat off to him.

Back in the early vintage days there was a bloke who rode a Triumph Metisse in pre 65, a Bultaco Mk3 Pursang in pre 70 and a CZ in pre '75......three different shift patterns! In the early seventies I rode my right change Bultaco Sherpa S and left wing RT1 at the same meetings and only occasionally got it wrong. It's a bit like when you visit America and your first time in the left hand drive rental car. The first 10 minutes are a tad dodgy but you pretty soon get used to it.

all my bikes that are pre 70 rh gear
all my pre 75 and pre 78 lh gear change
this is going to be fun in aug 4/5 at nepean changing from pre 70 to pre 75 bikes

WTF is a Naplan test?? I only went to school to eat my play-lunch and get the girls behind the bike sheds :D :D
The Bantam had a 3 speed-well actually a 1 speed followed by a 2 speed after a massive gap :D but I found it easy enough to cope with-at 3 miles an hour :D :D
Firko- about the left hand drive thing, I wasn't too bad in a car in Europe but absolutely shit on the pushbike-almost got cleaned up riding on the wrong side in the country side :D :D :D

I drove from Rome to Milan and then into Italian Alps left handed (first time in left hand drive!) after breaking my collarbone 3 days before I left Oz. On my own driving out of Rome trying to read a map. Don't tell me blokes can't multi skill!! J
