I'm sure you know the last picture is a Rickman Metisse chassis (G50 or 7R). Most likely being prepped for Bill Ivy?

NdI thoughtitwas a KR 84 rear ? Thats a 76 Front . a 327 compound I think was thestickyone . Funny story theier . No , IT HARD . Some people think your try'n to pull one .

The PROBLEM withem is the teeter totter . Your stable CRANKED OVER . Front ( and rear ) the CENTRAL DRAINAGE GROOVE is why they tramline , follow road ridges , and camber to a degree .
Twith Twith . Less relephant full tit . But did I tell you about the Track Join in the club track Pukekohe . Anyone at the foist C R M R C do should remember , Dont get yourself aft of the rear axle.
The ballance aint then good .
By the Way .
PUSH on the BARS in a Speed Wobble / Weave . It DAMPS IT . Pull Back - Its liable to throw ya round and amplifyit . Like a Z1 or other kwickersaki .

Ive never cottoned to the K 70 F , K81 R on the oily trpls . Seen one that accomplished my theory . Hit a car at 80 . The K 81 brakes GOOD , Layed Over . Astonishingly so , on occassion .

While the front'd wash out , full brake , layed over , on a K 70 . Unless you use the berm . ;)

They were K - 81 , untill ;

Front was still KR 76 , but they wereabit quickerthanthat . SEE the SHORT SIDEWALL . Tough as Old Boots . the CASING .

The Amorican K 81 R from around 80 , was A LOT stiffer in the casing / carcasss . So they wouldnt blow in death valley .
On your Goldwing , bagger , loaded , and throw the wife . Legedly they were developed for THAT . But had other uses .

That theres NOW a T T 1 0 0 .

Crikey .

OOPS.

SORRY ABOUT THAT .
Well, actually, they aren't. Triangulars are, well, triangular. K81/TT100s had the made up tag 'trigonic', which means absolutely nothing, and particularly the tyre on the bike Peter Williams is unwisely still hanging on to...may be...a rounded profile KR83....
 
I'm sure you know the last picture is a Rickman Metisse chassis (G50 or 7R). The first vesrions of which were ridden by Bill Ivy under the Tom Kirby banner. But indeed, the chap in the hat does look like Tom Arter, without his glasses?
