Few people would seen or heard of this i had just seen the odd reference.
I could have posted this in ESE or the chassis thread (might anyway).
Tell you the truth i wouldn't mind building a replica anyone got a Crescent 500 3 engine (lying about, they want to give away like)







This last pic i think is another version maybe?

engine pics that didn't fit.....

Can any one tell me why would the pipe be made like this, also just spotted the foam covering in the carb area?

[Grumph]

Gotta be some sort of local noise restriction. The foam would be a quasi air box but if it is foam it would damp intake noise too...

Husa - there was only ever one Monark/Crescent built. I don't know if you're referring to the b&w pic of him with Dane Rowe, that's the same bike. can't open any more pics....Ah, now they open....same bike, minus bodywork at an early stage of construction. Cat sidecar in background - also crescent powered.

He would have fitted in with the bucket foundry guys....often found machining in the middle of the night having had an idea....

Found a letter in a Classic Racer which Dane Rowe wrote in answer to the article you posted.

The pic with 3 spoke wheels is actually the final version - 3 spoke came later.

The 3 cylinder TZ/TR they finished up with in the chair was built by them.

Music had Blondie, racing had Dane Rowe .... a serious side car swinger from the 70's and something of a Hottie.

She was racing in the mid to late sixties onwards so probably born 1950 ish

Easy to find pics on the web. Looks like hyvo chain on the chair in one and another has a lay down sort of engine with 3 pumper carbs on it. He would have been an interesting guy to have a few beers with in his garage for sure. If him and Neil got together that'd make for some interesting machines.

Mid 60's is my guess.



And still someone I would like to share a bottle of wine (or two) and a sunny afternoon with.

I did work with Rudi for a while and whilst with him I had the opportunity to ride the solo at the French GP at Paul Ricard. It used the same engine as the outfit but suffered cooling problems due to the somewhat limited space for a radiator compared with the sidecar version. This lead to several exiting moments on the Mistral Straight when the cooling system reached bursting point and relieved itself through the radiator cap straight up under the screen and back into my face, the resulting steam cloud rendering me temporarely blind whilst flat out :rotfl: The wheels were six spoke Offenstadts with three spokes removed Due to its light weight and extremely low build the handling was superb, but the brakes, which I believe were Dunstall, were hopeless. The rear suspension was catilever using a modified Citroen car unit much the same as the three wheeler. The workmanship, as with all Rudis project was superb. With further developement I think it would have been quite successful. Unfortunately the pressure of Rudis GP campaign and the fact that I left prematurely to join Kawasaki meant the end to my involvement.

Mid 60's is my guess.
