belfastguzzi Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 crack a bevvy and settle in. Brilliant, Badgoosey. Forgive me for posting these again: I just wonder did you see them in a previous thread, last December. It's the same sort of spirit and I think you'll enjoy them. Another bevvy? Classic. Atmospheric. circa 1977 Pt1 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ430-CCpNI Pt2 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-zb5HQEkIf8 Pt3 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=o52GRZqtk10 And again, that Road Racing video thread started with this one, which includes Omobono Tenni. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ATV8c_ZkK3E I don't apologise too much, 'cos as I said at the time, there could be a case for 'stickifying' some of the best of these must-see vids!

badmotogoozer Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Thanks Belfry! I hadn't seen those. Recognize some of the footage from my Dunlop DVD - think I'll pick up a few and watch it again tonight. I absolutely love watching old footage like this! cheers Link to comment
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 crack a bevvy and settle in. http://209.85.173.132/search?q=cache:http:...deo-tt1969.html I think that is one of the movies (16 mm) that I watched at a local motorcycle club meeting when I was 15 years old (the other one was about Ago vs Mike the Bike at the IOM). I wanted a cafe racer so bad after that that I made some clubman bars for my old Honda 90 C200. The next year I had a Suzuki X6 Hustler with pipes and such. I did my road licence test with that bike even though it was bump start only (got bad marks for starting the bike and doing a wheelie/stoppie in the acceleration/deceleration test). After two seasons and 4 top end rebuilds I got a Laverda SFC (still have it), went racing at Mosport, Shannonville, St. Jovite, Nelson Ledges and it has been a wonderful life!! They really don't make movies like that anymore, or race like that even. It was a fun time. Thanks Ryan Jim Link to comment
Admin Jaap Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 BMG, thanks for the video! Inspirational. I downloaded it to my harddrive. Especially wrt to the Triumph racer my brother and I are rebuilding. The frame is straightened now. Next step is welding some extra struts to stiffen the frame. The idea is to turn it into a Percy Tait Triumph (but not with full fairing... we want to see the engine!) Link to comment
