I know CLS - they are / were an offshore contractor in Gt Yarmouth.

You have a bargain

Absolute bargain!!!^^^

I got a new bottle of Castrol 747 2 stroke oil for the chainsaw and Sthil saw as I don't like the smell of the Silkolene semi synth stuff, the Stihi saw was running rough yesterday as well so I'm blaming that!

One of my last outings using 747 in the TZR250 before I gave up racing :doh:

Only the engine and a few other bits survived that one!

Much safer in a chainsaw...

Any relation to Roger Ford? His TZ250 ended up on the cover of the Bemsee crash video in a similar pose

I've welded more tzr frames up than anything else, does that tell you something about the bikes or the riders :whistle:

No but I was told that I had the biggest high side ever seen at Lydenn coming out of Chessons Drift! That stung a bit :mad:

The photo above was at Oulton park.
I made the YPM (Yamaha past masters) club magazine as being the unluckiest racer that year after getting tapped off at Oulton Park, highsiding at Lyyden and having a muppet on a ZXR400 ram me on the slowdown lap of practice at Brands as him and his mate were still flat out! His bike only just missed the marshalls standing in the middle of the track waving us into the pits!
After being told by Dave Stuart (BEMSEE) he wasn't interested about what happened I decided to quit so I fixed the bike up and sold it before it killed me. In all the previous years of racing I'd not had many crashes but that bike was jinxed! :laughing:

I sold it to a lad that did very well on it winning some races I think.

One job I've never had a go at on the farm. Pit man is a thankless task, especially with a self propelled throwing trailers at you!

It's even worse with 2 self propelled and 10 trailers running.

You'd have a bloody massive shovel on the pit then I'd guess. Or 2!

I do hope that the pair under the supercharger are OK.

Oh that's a fun job..

I bought this old monster today; the bed is 13' long and I'm told its around 150 years old. Has anyone seen similar or better still can it be identified? thanks in advance.
