RE: Who?
oh dear unmasked!! just seen this pic of me on bray 1956 clubmans.1st triumph home.this was my 1954 bike taken back to meridan by frank baker and stan truslove,lovely people.and rebuilt for 56.to the new regs.silencers,lights ,dynamo,etc.note the very small bore pipes to use with silencers.a lovely engine and gearbox 120m.p.h. on sulby.but the frame was truly frightening it would jump sideways ugh.and when i told frank i should have had a gold star.he replied how much did your racing(on the triumph)other than buying it cost?.nothing .then shut up !!.I rode a 350 manx in september only 112 m.p.h.top speed and lapped much faster with the great handling .rode a gold star in the thruxton 500 with and prepared by john tickle and it steered as well as my manx.if only.the clubmans was a great chance to race at the TT and meet fine riders.the clubmans TT book is great,shame it couldnt have been in time to catch some of those no longer with us.still have 2 triumphs,
