At last got the scanner fired up.

A while ago brinx requested a pic of the Triton I used to race.

Here you are... 686cc 8-valve, Quaife 5-speed, Lyta tank, Manx frame and swingarm, Norvil forks, TLS front brake with ferodo race linings, covered in Ti nuts and bolts courtesy of Aunty Betty's Air Force.

Feck Q-T. Scanning is like polishing... boring as batsh!t.

I'll dig some of the old albums out and give it a go. Be warned, it may take months!

heh np

I know what you mean by that aswell.. Think it will be fun.. but it really isnt. Im a fan of the old triton cross breed bikes.
Guy @ work is trying to get me to buy an old douglas. Im a fan of steel and things like that.. Sure i can appreciate a new race bike and what have you, but you still cant go past the raw steel / metal look of a old classic, or a trx

Yeah great to see any pics of Barry Sheene he was one of the best.Saw him race in England at Mallory Ago was there asd well on the Yamaha must have been in 1975 correct me irf i,m wrong.But from my fading memory banks Ago was first 2 stroke champ in 75 then Sheene on the Suzuki in 76 & 77 Roberts on the Yam in 78.

Right!

He was the man who inspired me to drive faster

and also "safer"
It was in my early bikeyears iÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´ve seen him live at the dutch TT every year since 1978 or 1979 (first time)...

... a short break later iÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´ve got a book of his "ridingstile" (sorry ! donÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´t know the right words...)
... since then i love to watch motobike racing
... and sometimes i try myself some racetracks (but not sooo fast as the freaks

... just for my fun...)

... and itÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´s the #7 i allways remember ...

Ciao!

Every year we have the so called "TT van Ameide"

A historic Motorcycle club does some demonstrations in our village.
(riding the village streets, with only haybales in the corners for safety)

It is suppose to be a "demonstration" but since there a lot of former national racers in that club, you can guess what it looks like !

Here's a small movieclip a made from last years "demo"

Demo...

Probably every one of them has visions of passing Mike the Bike!

Ciao!
