gizza5 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Don't know how to add multi pics, so some more The numbers took the most preperation, the guy I am talking to is the late Colin Cass, without his Barbour coat!!! If any of you knew Colin he was always wearing this really old Barbour the thing would stand up in the corner on its own when he took it off, Stalwart of the East Yorks Centre though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawasaki Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I can confirm that what Donald said is absolutely true, I remember Duncan telling me about that very same purchase of Curt Comer's bike only a few months after the deal took place!As for the 4 stroke CCM's Nick Jefferies and Dave Thorpe (Dan's father) rode them for Alan Clews. I had a go on two separate CCM 350T bikes in 1978, one belonging to a guy called Mel Ross and the other Dougie Watson. However I didn't think they were as good as my 325 Bultaco (mod. 199) at the time! Big John I can confirm that. They weren't as good as the Bulty. In fact I still have a 350 CCM in me shed, the 4 stroke that is. Took it part exchange in 81 when I was a Bulty (amongst other things) dealer. It sat about for a bit then I used it in a few Centre events. It dropped a valve so it sat about a bit more. I totally restored the bike in 87. By then it was in no mans land. No good for Centre events and too new for pre 65 and a bit of a handfull anyway. So I used a TLR250! Cept the 81 Manx, used a Fantic 200. Rode around a bit with a certain Mr Jeffries who COULD ride the 350 CCM! Rode it in the early 90's in pre 65 events. Just for the ride. Cos the sections were suitable not hunting for pots! Anyway tiss a bit sad again and needs another bunch of tlc. Anybody wanna swap for summat easier to ride for an old fart who wants to have another play before it's too late!
