Mallory Bantams 15th April

few pictures of choice more to follow later.











Thanks for looking.

just thought I would spend a few moments taking the pst ?? sensored commenting on the Photo's,.
Now I just noticed in the first photo, Mark setting up to pass the guy in front, he is clearly looking as though he is adjusting something on the handle bars,! "no" Mark when you you get past 60 it takes a little longer to do things, looks like your about to take him grass tracking, been there"

how can "one" possibly expect to keep it on the tarmac upright with all these in your way ! so slow down and ride safely, respect the others around you, and I'm sure you will win a few more.

now after that just counted 12 Bantams on track, can anyone tell me who 153 and 152 are, also it looks like that iddiot 158 is going straight on grass tracking again, hope your well, and its not too sore.

Trevor if you feel like trading him in for a new younger rider, I can think of a few good excusses, without you having to fit an electrical impulse triger to his testicals to remind him to slow down, besides if he does not slow down and stop falling or or riding like the local iddiot, I'm sure there are plenty about who would jump at that opportunity,

a bit of advice for Mark,
JB told me !!!! I understand once your over "60" your not passed it, but you will be if you keep falling off, we will soon be calling you a new name like "Mark Car-"Fall guy-Keek"

you should slow down like everything else clearly has !!!!!! LOL.



some great shots

what happened to colin and the new guy. blimey where is "Mike Powell"

Hi

Steve

Firstly may I say thanks to lee for the great pics and look forward to more over the year hopefully??

Derek nice to have u back in some sort of way it's strange not herring your ramberlings and abuse How ever as u have said to me in the past shall we call it printable format let sleeping dogs lie as I'm sure u are aware from Trevor mark had a problem or 2 and this pic was the sighting lap racing is racing and as the flag has droped our builshit has stoped so stop talking and get back out there and get him back sorry for been a southerner but just get out there and stop moaning like a bloody northerner lol cadders it is then yes????

Sorry I digress thanks lee

Hi all and Ian

yes cadwell I'm just waiting for a pipe, to smoke,!! I can not get any acetalene in small bottles no one can, BOC have promised next month they will be able to anounce what happening with filling small bottles, anyway thanks for those kind words " Inew someone could see the sence of my ramberlings all you need to do now is help me confvince the other 38 bantams out there they should first be looking in, then racing, or making plans to,

I could not see Brian Lane on the Photo's On JS2 anyone see him in the Paddoc, or racing H was to be there and that new guys seems to have gone really well on "Colin Halls" old Bike.

anyway here's some more pictures to show, while I have been busy at work, Ive also been busy in the shed and on the dyno the first graph was my first proper run since 1988, last year, I could only ever afford one or two go's, anyway the second is after Alan helped me with the new carb and some better jetting and the third is last week after a change of cylinder head shape. everything else more or less the same bar the Pipe and some very minor changes like squish, size shape and other things, I have now stopped playing with inner transfer wall profiles, with these my bike would make a great trials engine! so Ihave removed them, Ive had quite a bit of assistance by PM and email from Trevor Amos. but never spoken to him by phone, I think you presume too much Ian! Trevor I have to say has been an absolute tresure with little snip bits of info, and help, and Trevor has not said what happened to Mark but I hope he will report, as I would like to know he is ok, so that I may come armed with hazard warning lights and indicator arms to Cadwell so he can avoid me and knows which way Im going next time. ! all I heared is he threw it up the road once while leading and another whilest chasing the leaders, but you know how things can get distorted sometime, so I really did not know and certainly not spoken to Trevor about it, Ithink if I was to ring trevor Iwould be asking him more important questions like why dont you change your rider or please strip and photo your engine or Barrel "just Like Tom did then down load it so we can all see. !

moving on- what I or we need now to move forwards is a dyno that gives correct and accurate air fuel ratio readings, apparenmtly, they are or all should be a different set of parameters in the lambda settings page, with Pump fuel than with AVGAS. using just avgas one the wrong parameters makes the Dyno reading usless and always shows a 2 stroke rich "ouch", when it could be weak.

so we are making slow but steady progress, really looking forwards to a practice day hoping to go to one of the circuits pre Cadwell, apparently I have to finish to be able to keep going, so I need to finish at least, she says I'm spending too much time talking bulocks rather than working
so have to reduce /put a stop to this.

hope you like the photo's please comment anyone if you wish. I got the cylinder head from George Harris many years back never new it fitted the same stud centres as my 55mm stud Bantam, with a bit of help, anyway I think it was one of a number of batches he had done, for a bike he was developing called the "bindy or hindy" my memory escapes me, anyway a very interesting peice of engineering, and casting.


see you all soon I hope

regards Derek











psbike up in air to keep cylinder sq while i have just been doing volume checks with oil for three different heads, there are some tell tail signs of what I have been up to, the crown here is very oily as using car engine oil this one is 10.4ml this combustion chamber does look big, so I assume this is equal to 10.4cc ? giving me just about about 12.8 to 1 "measured volume" not from exhaust closing.

Help! I´m in bother -- I keep seeing external flywheels!!!!!!

Senility struck at last....

Hi Derek.

BOC have been taken over by by an east european company and due to a catistrophic explosion at thier only acetaline producing plant in the UK all deliveries are shiped from europe hece a 3 to 4 week delay (we have just recived our delivery at work and the driver explained the delay).

Mick.

thanks Mick

thought I answered this already ! but yes I new they are building a new plant but can not get hold of small bottles M or J only L available too big for home use.

regards Derek
