laird387 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hi, Apart from the paint job and the rear sprocket this is a very standard looking little Cub spotted by Mary Wylde in the 1993 Talmag. Does anybody recognise the rider? Enjoy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laird387 Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Hi, Another don't know who, where or when - but I do know this is what a trials Tiger Cub looked like when you bought it brand new! For those wondering why we have so many photographs without identity the answer lies in the bad old days.........you see we only had film cameras, digital didn't exist, so you put a roll of film in the camera and photographed anything interesting at the trial or scramble. After the event you dashed home then straight into the darkroom and developed the film. Then had a quick bite to eat while the film dried, then ring up the secretary of the meeting to see if they have any results yet - scribble them down in your notebook, then back into the darkroom, put the roll of film in the enlarger and run the negatives through looking for interesting shots of anyone figuring in the results, find half a dozen or so that look good and print them up, then wash the prints and put them to dry in the cabinet. While they are drying ring the copy girls in T+MX, or whichever paper you are working for, and dictate a report of the event and the results. It's now probably around ten o'clock at night on the Sunday, so you collect the dry prints from the drying cabinet in your darkroom, scribble a caption on the back, put them in a hard-backed envelope addressed to T+MX in Morecambe, in my days, then dash into the Sorting Office in the main Post Office in the nearest town and get them posted to the paper. Then home, and straight to bed 'cos it's nearly time to be up and running for the normal day job........ So why are there so many 'lost' negatives, well on Monday after work, you sorted the darkroom then filed all the unused negatives in strips in a loose leaf, and when the results came through the post, filed them and the entry list you got on the day all with the negatives. By the time you had done this week in, week out for a good few years, and changed your day job, and brought up a family and moved house several times, your filing system of film negatives may not have survived intact.......... Then came digital cameras - and computers - and scanners. Making a photographic record, all identified, all on disc or hard drive - oh, what an easy life............

laird387 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hi, This shot is of Frank McMullen riding his Tiger Cub in the 1996 Sammy Miller round at the Frank Jones trial organised by the Builth Wells club. For members interested in the twinshock machines in these events I have started telling the story of 20+ years of the Sammy Miller series in the digital Magazine ORRe, where you will find plenty of images, all without watermarks, - so if you have ridden in a Sammy Miller trial - ever - there is a chance you could be in the magazine!

Note the neat fibreglass seat/mudguard unit. Enjoy. anyone happen to have any of these rear shocks for sale by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
