POMEROYS RACE WINNING BULTACO

[Daryl Jones]

The number 5 bike was used at the Austrian GP.
I'm pretty sure that after the "surprise win" at the Spanish, he would definately be riding a "Stock" factory Bultaco.

Ah, I should have read more of the story.
So it’s still not totally clear then one way or the other.

Blowing up from low res. scans don't usually come out very good but you can just make out the swingarm gusset on the far side of Jims bike.
That just about blows the CMS claim out of the water.

Unless of course they made their early frames with the single plate gussets like the originals.

Geezus Jerry, I thought you must have finished it......dont tell me Geoff is holding you up on a thingamejig.....I've been waiting for a pipe for 3 days now

You'll be waiting 3 months now ya cheeky bugger

I can't believe this much effort was spent to find out what I said was true, Pomeroy + CMS = B.S..

[Peter Villacaro]

Jerry Haas is the guy that knows what Pomeroy used for the Spanish GP, find him (Hugh Weaver stays in contact with him) and you'll put this to bed.

Thanks Peter I will contact Hugh. Let you know how I went. Cheers Jerry

You’ll have to forgive me for not believing that every statement I read on the Net is based on fact.

When we had the evening with Pomeroy on the Saturday night and the race on Sunday some years back North of Brisbane (I forgot the name of the place), he clearly explained that his bike in Spain was a stocker that he bought his bars and some other stuff with him and fitted to it. Later bikes for many races were modified here and there but pretty much stock and later when Bully made him a "special" it went downhill from there and he regretted going away from the standard bikes.

That would've been the weekend he raced at Coles Creek on the Sunshine Coast and autographed the tank for my mk8

Would have been for Sunday but where was the Saturday night Pub?, I couldn't be there on the Sunday to race but I was there on Saturday down the front asking all the questions! I had to be a long way South of Brissy (NSW in fact!) early the next morning and one of the few QVMX race days I didn't race in 10 years ironically - but was worth the effort to go the wrong way for the evening, nice guy.

Hi,
It was in Pomona Saturday night, I think it was the Town hall,
J P was gracious enough to sign the 2 page spread in "Motocross The Great Leap" (Frank Melling) him on a Mk8 at Daytona .a true gentleman.

You raced that day, did you ride the same class? I forgot - mind you in your version after all these years I guessed you lapped him and roosted him while doing so .....

Hi,
no , not me ,I think I was riding my Triumph, but if my memory serves me right, one of the "hillbilly boys" kept him honest.

[Davey Crocket]

Mic Chadwick (the Hillbillies uncle) on his methonol powered Bully beat him in all the race's I think, and your right, a true gentleman and had a real fun loving nature.....I remember him telling us Joel Robert and himself where always in trouble for practical jokes and shitstirring at the GP's. When I think about it Mark and Micheal, there is probably fewer than half a dozen still racing now that would have been there....just goes to show how many people come and go in our sport....shit, I cant even think of half a dozen now. I remember a heap of cockroaches turned up because there "Weekend at Pomeroy's" was rained out. Jim was a big guy (must have been 6-3 or 4) and when you saw him on a pre 75 bike he absolutely dwarfed it....one of my all time favorite photo's is of him crossed up in a corner with most of his body over the front bars...I'm sure someone can put that photo up. I think you where blocking the track that day with one of your Cee-Zee's Micheal.

Cee Zed......Cee Zed......Cee Zed......for gawds sake.paul

Joel Robert called then Chee-Zhee's, so thats good enough for me.
