charlie prescott Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hi Guy's, Yes This is the bike that Dave rode into 2 place in the SSDT of 1967. and the bike Registration number JON473E, was known at the factory as RED T1,It would be better dropping the "E" from the reg for a Pre 65 Trial. Red T1 was the first prototype , bike that had several frames in it's short career, reverting to the near standard one for the Scottish, as this was company practice,the engine also went through several changes ,starting as a D10 with only three gears then using the prototype four speed that was being developed. the factory log about development is intresting reading. Regard's Charlie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b40rt Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Seems his bars need a bit more foreward, and he missed the better pary of his kicker rock, will never make the 2M splatter on that lump! If he had had bar risers he would never have made it. Apparently ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie prescott Posted August 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Hi Guy's, Just take a note if you are building a Period trials Bantam, This bikes sports a flat steel crankcase protector welded to the frame bottom tube. Doherty steel levers, and Dunlop steel rims. Peco silencer box. The fact is this guy was one of the best never to be replaced, perhaps BSA did get things right once in a while? Or was it just Brian Martin? PS, and his Brother. Regards Charlie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallo Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Can you really get the front wheel up like that on a Bantam, I didn't realise they had enough power, or has the picture been photo shopped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stickinthemud Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Photo of Dave winning the Bradford Club's Alan Jefferies National in 1967 with Brian Martin also in attendance. Not the best of images but my Ilford Sportman 35mm wasn't the best of cameras! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
