No apron strings on me fella, I use one of those plastic poncho jobby's It really is about time I did one of the French or Spanish trials, I've been banging on about doing one for the last 3 or 4 years now!

dabdab Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 You bunch of dirty rotten swines. That man in the pictures was me, the brilliant Bluebottle. I was using my naughty cardboard cut-out clipboard and string pencil thingy and wearing my special junior-kit horse hair Peter Sellars moustache. ( thinks ) Saaay Eccles - what is a bull-ticky-oh that these nasty old creaking men keep on about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldilocks Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Whats the worst number the winner of the SSDT has had then John ? it was some ride by Martin to win with number 58, he must have been about 10th away on the tuesday. Suppose it depends how good a number the other top boys had ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greeves Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) Less talk about the French and sauces and more pictures of Bultacos!!!! Yes, more Bultaco pics. This is my model 10, I bought it quite cheap in Scotland (and quite destroyed too), where nobody wanted it. Raced the SSDT 1965 to 1967. "You sit on it and you feel at home" True, as I keep it in the sitting room of my country house. My model 49, a 3rd. series. Nice little bike. Model 91. With this bike have raced the last 2 years the Spanish classic champ. And my favourite, the bike I used 30 years ago to win in the Dos Castillas y Leon champ, also raced with it some world champ. races. Big John raced with it 3 years ago in Robregordo.
