We'll Have Fun, Fun, Fun

One of my nephews was about to take this to the dump.

I have adopted it.

Onza T-Bird.

Magura Hydraulic Brakes.

Got a chunky bashplate on it too.

That shoud make light work of the coping ;-)

Needs a bit of fettling obviously but a free bike is a free bike innit.

Anyone got any WD40?

One of dads slides, dated 1963, don't know the story behind this one.

CSTC Newsletters '77

I found some old newsletters from The Crowthorne Schoolboy Trials Club (see post about SS50 a couple of days ago)

Some interesting snippets in them.

Trials SS50

Lights and pedals removed.
Renthal handle bars fitted.
Rear mudguard cut down.
Steering lock tabs removed from fork yoke and tank dented for increased steering lock. Custom foot rest/rear brake pedal assembly built up and fitted through swinging arm pivot.
Carburettor slide cut down and inlet filed out.
I entered a few trials on this in the Crowthorne Schoolboy Trials Club homemade special class.
Was later fitted with a high level front mud guard and knobbly tyres from something else, maybe a Garelli Tiger Cross (?)
Photo taken in the Owlsmoor/Broadmoor area earlyish 76.

Solo Dad '63

A rare photo of dad on a solo trials bike.

I was cajoled into riding the Greeves in the team trial by a Jack Taylor who could not ride that day because he was the ACU steward , his bike.

Better BSA pic

Dad said...

Dennies BSA gold star with Joe Rance in the sidecar,1969, I borrowed it when Dennis and Judy went to Majorca , Reigate and Redhill open to Centre trial, we won best sidecar that day

way to go Dad.

BSA 3

I think this must be the same trial as the previous picture but I'm not sure.
Dad again but it's not me in the chair it's Joe who used to passenger for my uncle Den.

Me & Dad

I gotta load of slides off of my Dad to scan on my new slide scanner.
I'm pretty sure this was taken at Long Valley in the Aldershot area, that's me in the sidecar. I can't remember why my Dad is actually riding as he'd retired from competition a few years before this and he's riding my uncle Dens outfit.
Pretty sure it's an Ariel though.

I meant to check with him, I'll have to do that sometime...

EDIT: It's a BSA Goldstar not an Ariel.
