So my mate claiming he has James Bonds bike ! Chapman frame number 007 could be right then ? (Only joking about the Bond bit.) I have seen it a couple of times but its well hidden behind many other gems. Edited December 13, 2011 by jon v8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 was anything on the bike bsa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02-apr Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 was anything on the bike bsa? Would that matter? It was surely supposed to be a modern bike of its day. No arcane rules to be complied with in those times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old trials fanatic Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Got to admit i dont know the bike in question. Anybody got any piccys they could post out of interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No arcane rules to be complied with in those times. Sure it doesnt matter, couldnt remember the bike, wondered if the bsa bit had any significance?

Sorry ND, I misinterpreted your post as being a criticism of a "modded" British bike. It is a Bantam engined machine produced in the 70's - I remember seeing them at the Scottish.

jon v8 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I may be a bit hazy on this,but I thought the Chapmans were built on a DT175MX Yam motor,same as the BSA Tracker ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
