I think they were HRD's before they were Vincents.HR Davies rings a bell.

Nope,but nearby all right.For obvious reasons,I cant disclose the location.

On my camera I'm no photographer(obviously) but they turned out quite good

Wasn't he a gator man?

This fella,unquestionably for me-

Agreed,if you watch the throttle trace of Stoners bike compared to the rest,he seems to pretty much pin it all the time and the traction control sorts it out. The likes of Rossi,Hayden and that can be seen to be feathering the throttle open,if you get what I mean,but Stoners trace just looks like it jumps straight to wide open. I might have misread it,of course,but that's how it looks to me.

Last week I had a chat with a guy with a Griso. He said it was very nice.

Sounds like a great day Keith.Oulton always struck me as the last of the old style tracks,not messed with too much. The Tonti looks grand!

Arent they fairly straightforward?

Tom Waits, drunk.

Nice pic Alex

Thanks lads,been having a wander through the forum. See that most of the old faces are still here.

Yeah,sounds good.My poor bikes in a hell of a state.She hasnt even been turned over for months.I'll have to get into her at the weekend,see whats lying beneath the corrosion and rust.

I simply cant believe that hydraulic drive hasnt been discussed yet. Surely the simplest way to avoid all these problems would be to mount a small hydraulic pump on the gearbox output shaft and drive a motor within the rear hub. Self lubricating too.And considerably lighter than that ring and pinion.

Sadly not. A long and sordid tale of broken promises,lies and double dealing. The mate and I had to wind up the business and sell off the trucks. Down a lot of money,but,like Aristotle said,you have to be philosophical about things.

Yep,no computer access,working outside all the time,living in digs and the computer at home wasnt working too well. Funnily enough,I didnt miss it much,missed the bike much more.

Hi all,been away for nearly a year(!) working. Nice to be back.

I got a little cover that goes on the pillion area.It's a kind of slightly tacky vynil and attatches with elasticated straps.They come up on e bay for jap bikes fairly often.Unfortunatly,I have no idea who makes them. Happily though,I now have herself so fit,she can crack walnuts with her arse

It's me!

What's the deal with the wheels? Cali hubs? Can anybody translate?

D, get a picture and hang it 50 metres directly below Jim and he'll have it in a trice Something says Malaguti to me,69 ish 100cc?

Christ,here we go again

As rum looking a bunch as ever I saw. Good luck and have fun
