Meemory is drifting back, Dennis Greenfield and Fed Swift took the ike to the UGP, not sure if Tom was riding it but it was damaged and never repaired then the motor was " tealeafed". the six other bikes that had been buillt for Daytona all had the lowboy frames, but when the original motor was blown it was not in a lowboy frame it was either a standard Manx or 650SS frame with all Manx kit on it.

Paul Dunstall bought all of the Daytona bikes and spares a developed a tidy busimess with the Dunstall Domiracers.

Dennis Greenfield and Fred Swift were experimental teters amonst other things , not racer, but with Denniis Poultons help they developed a very quick 650SS from a test bike reg number was203 DOC, took it to THruxton and won the 400 miler production race first time out that bike had the first six start oill punp rather than a three start on the twins, and was later standard on the first 750 Atlas bikes, that was another of Dennis Poultons brainwaves I bought that bike and had it for a good few years and it was very quick and easily equal or better tha a Bonneville.

Great days at that time a gang of us used to keep our bkes at a massive coach house owned by Pat Walsh in Edgbaston, Albert Noule,kept gis bikes there as did myself and Bob Heath when we started racing, Clive Elliott Ken Sparayson and a few others hung out there and Clive did a coouple of Ariel Arrows for Albet and Pat to use in the TT.

Guess those of you who know me Larry and Cargo are wondering how I can post now I am blind, amazing the trck kit they came up at Coleraine University took me a while but , getting there apart from a few typos.

The last owner of the REAL motor was killed in a road accident on a CX500 about 25 years ago I went to his funeral in the black country with Bob Heath and Tony Rutter.
