He did a few bits of work for me in the past. He was about 13 miles up the road from me. He used to visit Thailand for 6 months or so, then come back to blighty. I assume it was a visa thing? Anyway as said I think he finally properly retired and moved out permanently. Shame he was such a knowledgeable and gentle chap.
Still yet to bolt on a set of YPVS cylinders he tuned for me.

Besides the rebuilds and really growing old disgracefully, he would also be a Demi god of sorts if he took his porting tools with him. Thailand is crazy about srprint racing 150 cc two strokes. Lots of videos on you tube.

I would be amazed if he was still working. He did a couple of engines for me about 30 years ago. My 350 Production race bike was probably the fastest one out there though 😊

If you don't have access to Facebook, there are a few other options you can try. You could contact the Triumph HINKLEY official website and ask if they have any contact information for the former tuner or other experts who may be able to answer your questions. You could also reach out to local automotive clubs or forums for advice. Finally, you might consider reaching out to the tuning company or shop where he worked in the past as they may have details on how to contact him.

Didn’t he work for himself for years, and make his own mark? Apart from the early days when he worked for Stan Stevens as his tuner before they fell out? Jon |
