pre 60 bike loan. i know its a big ask but someone might have one

[Freakshow]

Does anyone know of, has or can swing a pre 60 bike for the nats ? maybe you cant ride, too old to ride not interested and so on, but would like to see you bike on the track again for a few laps.

i know its a big ask but the Goldstar we were going to enter has some issues that cant be sorted in time.   PRe 65 would also be oK as a second option.

But IF you or a freind has a pre 60/65 bike you arent going to take can we please ride it at the nats ? ill pay the entry and the fuel no issue and happy to run it as a demo bike back of pack if you feel its not up to racing.    OR even 1 or 2 rounds if you wan tto keep it low key, happy to even sit out a round to keep it safe.

Can you contact me or put them in touch with me as i would like to make something happen ASAP so COl can sort the class out.  cheers

I got one Freaky, Ron Chadwick has very kindly offered up his BSA Batam with a Villiers 8E engine to help fill the class, it is set up for trials and if nothing else we 'll be able to cut firewood with the rear sprocket. I can fit my Ossa seat to it to save my ass and we just need to find some spark.
Now all I need is a factory race shirt-did Villiers ever have them?? and where do I get some flying googles and jacket??

There you go Freaky, should be able to scam an old moped and give EML a run.

Good news to report that the loaner turned out to be a WINNER
A VERY BIG THANKS to Ron Chadwick as to due to his extreme kindness we are now winners of an Aussie title on the little jem of a Villiers powered Bantam although how one is to get more than 1 lap out of one without a seizier is beyond me. It locked up regularly either on the big uphill or shortly there after almost every lap. I have since been informed that they do it regularly and you just ave to live with it. The thing was, it would restart again with one or two kicks almost a soon as I found neutral and I could go on to do another lap so it became a sort of game I played with it whilest endeavoring to get it over the finish line.
It is however a very forgiving little bike and certainly no worse than the TS/DT/MT 125s I grew up riding in the early 70's-20 years after this one was made!!

Apologies to all concerned

No problem Super, I couldn't see how I could have won it but was told that the results were in and no longer provisional so we thought some sort of miracle had happened. I wasn't keeping tabs on any of the opposition as I thought there would be no need.
Still, second is a far better result than I could ever have imagined on the little bugger.

Cheers to you and all that helped-A fantastic event---and I 'll have to try again next year.
