Flattrack Nats OLD SCHOOL TWINS

[EML]

If they don't want you guys down there, get 'em on a truck and we'll have you up here.....and probably further north.

I'd love to be a part of it (singles at least) at Action Park Raceway. But anywhere it's held I'd like to have a crack. Irecon the handicap race concept would be fun. Imagine a single two stroke running a fast smooth line and a hoard of big fat twins barrelling in behind him! Even the crowd would be shitting themselves

      Well even if there are not Enought for a Class at least invite them
      to the meeting even if you let them do 3 or 4 by 3 lap Demo runs
      it would still be worth it for the sound of a big twin 4 stroke doing
      Laps.

I'm def not trying to pour cold water on the concept, just an observation of the current circumstances.
I love the sound of them and the bonus of seeing Wato & Caso go for it means I'll be there as a keen observer, may even be tempted to have a go myself, Carlos has several XS650 donks stashed away and they're not all 650's.

Hey Slidz, maybe we need to get Burkenstein aboard one of those beasties

[steve234]

Here is a nice offering for such meetings. I sort of have a thing for A65 beeza's.

It's time Carlos and his little bro got the Sidchromes and hammers out and built something using their huge knowledge, big parts stash and Carls legendary riding talent to build a 'two brothers' flat tracker project.. The sport needs characters like Carl Askew*.
*Or can someone put Carlos's arse on a slider for Temora?

I love them too Steve. I spotted that Sonic framed beauty on vft myself and it wasn't very expensive either.

I just came across this photo in my files and had to post it again because it's just so stunning. The bike is my late friend Bob Neilson's factory rigid framed  BSA Gold Star flat tracker. Bob owned some very tasty bikes in the years I knew him but this jewel and the Shell Yamaha 750 I bought from his widow are the crème de la crème. There are still a few bikes left in his estate that are to be sold including a genuine RH67 Suzuki and both of Harry Hindalls personal bikes, his lightweight 750 Triumph Hindall d esert racer and the TT500 play racer I wrote a feature on in VMX #44.

wow thats a very nice looking bike

[pancho]

 Beautiful machine, I think it needs a nice G.P. carby and a couple of spots of brown dirt on the front of the timing case.

at least it would idle (if it had to ) with the 1000 series amal,

 What? IDLE? That's for commuters on Lambrettas!

My only complaint is the Excel rims, my pet hate on early bikes. Bob told me that he was going to fit Borrani mud catchers but he sold the bike before he had the chance.

Got a quote for some valanced rims the other day, $350 each. Add spokes and labour.

I know what you mean Steve, luckily I've managed to save a few over the years, knowing that they'd eventually become scarce and expensive. We used to be able to pick them up at wreckers for $20 because nobody really wanted them. 40 hole 21" valanced rims are the hard ones to find and DID or Takasago Japanese copies the nicest to polish up because of the softer alloy used.
