Here's a little 50cc racer. First raced 40 years ago. The racer was an artist and made the body work himself. Its now raced by his son.

Kreidler, vanveen, and others of their ilk always amazed me, protar an italian model company set up by tarquinio provini ex tt racer used to make these in scale models, used to have a few. Love watching old films of them being paddled away at race starts, with the clutch slipping like buggery.

At the moment the pictures were taken it was kicking out 16 pk but he was going have a new pipe made and a tune to produce a little more mid range and an extra 2 pk |

There is still lots of these to be see in classic races in Holland either real or copies. The noise they make is ear splitting.

Yep, Karl following. The fella that took that pic didn't know who the guys were - he posts his pics on a Facebook site and you can buy them for a small fee. Don't know if Dave is aware of that ?? Dusty If he didn’t he will soon 😉😂 Hi guys yes got that picture and one of me on the hybrid the next week |

I don't do Twitter. Facebook is enough social media for me !!  My kids see Facebook as a bit naff now, but it is full of bike forums and lots of pics of stunning builds. That Tz vid is on Facebook too but unless you are on Facebook I don't think you can see a Facebook linked video  I put a FB link up to a guy that had cut open an Indian made Pv tank, to show how awful it was, but I don't think a lot of guys here can view it unfortunately. Anyway, todays offering is a lovely Sanctuary Zed  74912296_175020933616124_4597460081720688640_n[2] by dusty miller, on Flickr |
