I found this old one from the 70s when I was riding either a BSA 250 C15 or just got my first Triumph, a T100.
On the wall is John Webley's Cheltenham Motorcycle Road Race poster as seen in his post. I went there with my mate, peteberr on here, he was riding a Honda CB250K.

And now
Is that a bit of a Spencer rep thing going on there with the CB9/750 you are by?
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

Bought a job lot of 3 bikes about 4 years ago - cb750F2 Bol Dor, CB900 FA and the bike you see in the pic - a CB1100F with a 900 engine that had WISECO 985 Kit on. The latter was in bits (inc top end of engine) and I rebuilt it as a Spencer Rep. It had CBR 600 wheels/brakes, a box section swing arm, Laverda Jota forks and billet yokes. Sold it straight away at a good profit that funded the K2 build, (broke the 900 as it was rough and sold the 750 Bol Do Jap import to a guy in IOM)
Spencer Rep was a great bike to ride

Great looking Spencer rep Phil, that's a keeper.
This is me in 1981 on my 2 valve Jawa speedway bike at the old Milton Keynes training track at Elfield Park. I used to train here and at Iwade in Kent. I used to train at Wimbledon under the guidance of Malcom Simmons. I remember once racing against a very young and talented Kelvin Tatum, a very gifted racer. Kelvin went onto achieve greatness, I achieved retirement a couple of years after, crashing hurts when there's no brakes to slow you down!

I used to go there every week, and do a bit of grass tracking myself, it only took 15 minutes to get there from my house, banger racing too.

I'm going to track down some of my old pictures all now poorish copies reproduced from scanning negatives plus some prints that friends have sent me since we lost 30 years of pre-digital photos from a serious house fire in November 2017. I will post them next week.

If this link & video  still works it will give you some background we moved back into our rebuilt home in July 2018.
