And the one I chopped up in the early 80s to race with Although we didn't compete directly Dickster and I were on the track in similar years. It became a 225cc special cutdown but I only did one season as a novice before going off to college and discovering cars. If only we knew then what we know now eh... That pic was probably about 1979. Too young to legally ride it but....
I perfected the art of falling off far too quickly and it was far toooo expensive. Wish i still had the racer though. now that did have the Innocenti disc on it albeit converted to hydraulic! Group 5 racer (I think, was a 200....with a slight rebore Mr Scrutineer!)- full GP bodywork. Still got the rear set brake (or bits of it!).
Cool! Standard Sx200 disc for me but reverse pull...remember that lol. Used to run the barrels in by screaming down Barton Cutting just north of Luton with the hand on the clutch, waiting for the screech Quick strip down at the bottom of the hill, file the melted high spots off the piston, good to go. The fearless recklessness of youth
I remember Those Scomadis look pretty good. Not a lot of money for what they are And oh my god, I think my hips would lock up if I tried to ride a small frame anywhere. Cool scoots
I doff my hat to your superior hair dryer knowledge sire , never heard of it but sounds suspiciously wop-ish
Well I did the deed. Body is rough but it runs great. 1 hour drive from here, It’s keeping the bus company. Think of it like US vs UK for buses. Finding one for sale and so close is a rare thing for north east USA. I’m 19 again.
Tidy! If it runs great keep the body rough, but you won't feel 19 again if you have to bump start it!
