laird387 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Hi, Pictured is Peter Gaunt on his Gaunt Suzuki, riding in the Ilkley New Year trial in 1970, photographed by Barry Robinson. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hi, Another of the Suzuki derivatives was the Taylor-Suzuki, seen here at a Birmingham Club trial at Lidgates Farm at Knowle on the south-eastern outskirts of Birmingham. A young Mac Price keeps his feet up on Bills section. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laird387 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hi, The only detail that I can add to the bike identification is that it was done by John Taylor, for sure, and not so sure - did he come from Stafford? Someone will know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc2 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Love the pics Deryk. Thanks for taking the time Do you have any of the Alta-Suzukis? (not the McLaren ones) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Hi, jc2 (and everyone), My mind boggles as to just how many images I have - but sadly, when I produced 'Offroad Review' it was very much a publish yourself 'Learn How to Publish' book - if you see what I mean. I was in full-time employment that really was 'full-on'. I had a company car and the 'policy' was that you changed the car every three years or at 50,000 miles - whichever came first. The longest I ever managed to have one car was ten months.........yes, 50,000 miles in ten months........ So my combined hobbies of motorcycling and photography tended to be somewhat phrenetic and adding publishing the magazine meant that something had to suffer - and one sacrifice was the correct cataloguing and organising of all the negatives that Mary and I took - so now I'm having to 'catch up' on a task that would have been a lot easier at the time - had I ever thought they would be 'interesting' all these years later. They say 'you live - and learn'. I reckon I just lived...... Anyway, yes there are Alta-Suzukis in there, and when I come across them I will include them on TC - but, as a friend of mine says - 'Bear with!' The other message is, to everyone, please, please, please post a query for me with details of the bikes - venues - events - or riders that you personally would like to see, then it's a lot easier to scan through my collection and spot images that would be useful to someone. Cheers. Deryk Edited February 8, 2014 by laird387 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Hi, I promised to include any Alta-Suzuki images, so here goes. Martin Lampkin, with his 125 spotted by Cecil Bailey in the 1969 Hoad. Enjoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
