Re: Riding irreplaceable motorcycles
The frame was definitely made by Tigcraft, the tubes are huge, next time I see Brian I'll ask if the frame is ally, it cracked at the shock mount and had to be repaired, maybe I thought it's ally because the bloke who welded it is a fantastic ally welder.

They're Yamaha, not sure what model, could well be TZ, they've been rebuilt and revalved by MCT

Re: Riding irreplaceable motorcycles
Let me know when he's out and I'll try to come along and say hi it's been a long time. I had a great time with him in the new era champ, James luck, Brian wiles (rip,) big Welsh Tony (rip) frosty who came with his mum had a lovely spondon rotax, and a load more I sadly can't remember. Brian probably has the results sheets, if he has can you take a pic and stick them up (from the new era champ) be a right walk down memory lane.

Re: Riding irreplaceable motorcycles
Ps the reason no one used the aprilia engine is because it's got radial valves. And the cams are mental tapered type deals to actuate them, so simply, you cannot get aftermarket cams for it. So it's a dead end for tuning.

No, I haven't spoken to Brian for a few weeks, I've been busy with other stuff
