Gads, Dallara, that old Norton 500 single brought tears to my eye.

I used to race a '49 Manx at the Classic & Antique races at Laguna Seca in the 70's, Castor Bean oil and exposed valve springs. Your pics are hard on an old fart. :cry:

Memories!!!!
I used to race against some of these when they were new and not antiques. I rode a Gilera Saturno Corsa (a most beautiful bike) against Norton Manx, Matchless G45 and G50, and a Velocette KTT mostly agains AJS 7R. The Gilera had less performance than the British bikes but was very light (italian nickname piuma = feather) and pulled better out of real slow corners with it's straight pipe instead of megaphone. All this was in Venezuela from 1951 to 1955.
By the way Deano, in this forum you can call yourself "old fart", but in BMWST.COM that is reserved for me! I'm an older fart than you are :D :D :D

Alan -
I can't see the engine detail of your Beezer (my dog's name is Beezer...I *am* a fan!)
Is this a 125cc "Bantam"?

BSA's

Post by Alannc »

Darth,

The '56 is a 150cc, the green one ('51 D1) in my avatar is a 125 (actually 123). Have just started working on a '65 D7 (175cc).

Here is a better shot of the engine.

First up is one of my first bikes, my Yamaha R5 350. I really thought I had a big bike, in 1972

Then we get to see the first RD400, this started life as a 1976.

The last RD400 was also a 1976, but I went a little bit different way on this one. After this bike, it was a stock RZ350 KR replica. I left it alone!

Bakernks,

Nice looking 2 strokes. My two street bikes in college were a RD350 & Suzuki GT380. The RD was definately faster, but the Suzuki with its 3 cylinder motor was smooth and a better street bike.

The R1150R was my next bike. Quite the jumb in technology, the motor, brakes, handeling, tires. The old bikes look great but I love the new tech.

I has a '79 RD-400 Daytona Special, then a 1982 RD350LC I sort-of "imported" from the great white north to Texas. If I could have one back, it would be the LC.....
