That brings back memories, a dash of Cassie R in the petrol tank of my A65R was a favourite, just for the smell, I had a mate who worked for Castrol who got it for me.

Cheers

I used to ride around town on a Raleigh Winged Wheel (25cc.) with R in the fuel...

btw..  I think the modern Speedway oil is Millar's CB40 Caster oil.
