The wife was sorting through knitting patterns and these dropped out...
The Homebuilt TR3 is the young racer at Ruapuna circa '72. Girlfriend's 100E - and dog.
R5 ported to TR250 timings, TR250 pipes, T500 32mm carbs. Fairing from the excellent Foxton fiberglass.
Seat and tank by Tony North in ChCh. Tank a lowered TR500, seat from a pattern I made.
Rear triangular, carbs, pipes and info from Mike Sinclair...
Not a bad club racer at all.
The pit scene is historic. It's the first ever event run in the SI by the Register - a bent sprint on the East end of Cust.
Fat bugger getting changed scrutineered the event and rode the Ossa of which the white rear guard is in the foreground.
Mark Brooks has the Ossa now as a very nice GP replica. The red tanked bike leaning on the van is the Chambers family GP Triumph/BSA
which has made many appearances since. Bas himself rode it there - on tyres I was very dubious about...cracked.
