Yamaha TZ350 project gathers pace!

Bill Simpson is now well on the way to completing the new rolling chassis.
The 'kits' that Bill produces include frame, swinging arm, caliper carriers, spindles and even fairing brackets - so it should make speedy completion of the machine relatively simple... well, it will be simple when we can source an engine, carbs and pipes.!
The plan is for Peter Lindén to test sometime before the end of the season, before embarking on the ICGP's in 2018.












The project took a massive step forward last week when Andy Abram offered to loan his immaculately restored ex Dennis Trollope TZ350 to the team. We took delivery last week and immaculate it truly was, so much so that the first job will be to remove some of the most crash vulnerable items and replace them with modern 'available' stuff. A very big thank you to Andy for that.

We really can't wait to mix in with Ian Simpson and Mike Edwards next season - it really does seem to be where the classic action is right now.

Top Job; but no reward at Donington

A fantastic team effort by the riders and pit crew alike failed to bring a result at Donington Park. Engine failures halted both teams who were each holding second position when the problems struck.

After qualifying third ( Linden/Simpson) and ninth ( Brasher/Dickinson), Mike Dickinson stormed away and held second place for the first 45 minutes, with Peter Linden holding fifth. By mid race the teams were briefly first and third.

Thanks to all the team and sponsors for a supreme effort - sometimes it just doesn't work out.

New engines for Spa will be underway shortly ! See you there.
