laird387 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Hi, Finally my sincere apologies to Gordon Muir of Kilwinning and Allister Stewart of Dunblane (Dunipace) who appear to have eluded the lens of photographer Jack Knoops, plus John Moffat on his B40 - but I think I have now posted every Scots resident who rode in this year's Pre-65 Scottish - unless someone knows otherwise..........

naichuff Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Re post63 Gordon Muir retired on the first day with siezed forks and pulled a shoulder out on day two so he may not have got to your camera Allister Stewart also retired I think at pipe line on day one Edited June 9, 2014 by naichuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Hi, Another puzzle for the filing system - the Official Programme says this is Angus Jenkinson from Ulverston riding a 350 Royal Enfield Bullet in the 2010 Pre-65 Scottish. It is clearly a BSA 343cc B40, not a Bullet, so can anyone help - is this Angus on a change of bike - or is it a lucky lad from the waiting list getting a ride when Angus had to pull out?

laird387 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Hi, Another puzzle for the filing system - the Official Programme says this is David Watson from Richmond riding a 350 Royal Enfield Bullet in the 2010 Pre-65 Scottish. It is clearly a BSA B40 or C15, not a Bullet, so can anyone help - is this David on a change of bike - or is it a lucky lad from the waiting list getting a ride when David had to pull out? (Stephen Bisby says: Picture 70 is Andy Hipwell from the Buxton area, Derbyshire.) Please note - I am not criticising the programme - I've compiled enough programmes and organised enough events in my time to know there are many potential pitfalls just waiting for you to put the final pen to paper, as it were..........

laird387 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Hi, I was happy to spot this Jack Knoops photograph in the archive. It is Clive Dopson with his wonderful trusty Norton 500T trials bike, forcing his way up yet another hilly track in the 2014 Pre-65 Scottish. I've been photographing Clive on that bike for at least twenty years, memorably when he won the Talmag Trophy on it. How many modern machines will still be in active use after a similar period. How many years have you had the Norton, Clive? Very best regards Deryk PS. A very ordinary 500T, with a road front wheel, was sold in auction in Yorkshire last week for close on £10,500 (with costs and tax) - what is the world coming to? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hi, Son of famous BSA teamster, Johnny Draper, the only man to win every solo class in the SSDT - Nick Draper spotted on his BSA by Mary Wylde in an early Pre-65 Scottish. We are publishing a Pre-65 Scottish supplement to 'Lochaber Rich Mixture' as we serialise the book in ORRe, with images from the Pre-65 over the years up to and including 2014.
