I've been thinking a lot about twin shock scramblers lately, but I have no space in my life for another bike and I don't want to sell anything I've got. There's something about big-fin two-stroke and kerbstone-thick seats that get me going, though. Don't get me started on Scholl sandals and white socks... GColour photos from Derestricted. Don't know where the B&W is from. Or what model. CZ, right? The admirers look Eastern Bloc-ish, in a good way.
Gary mate ye shudda gone to the damn Classic Off road show, you couldn't move for the damn things, maico, loads of Husqvarna, all those cheney and rickman things, unbelieveable what people do secretly in their back sheds.......Rickman hmmm
ReplyDeleteG...Ok not quite "twin shock scrambler" world, but I keep getting drawn to going to local pre-65 trials events (Poachers events in our county G, do you fancy it G ?) It's a good ramble through a quarry or a wood watching Brit Iron having the crap beaten out of it on a crisp Sunday morn....what's not too like ?? I have no room for another bike...but I keep going back to watch....Boastie & Guy were riding in the Dec event.....WHY OH WHY so many temptations !!??
ReplyDeleteYou shouldn't even think about it. I had decided on a 2 stroke twin shock dirt bike then went and bought that BMW.

Black & white photo is a lovely Single Port CZ (250 & 360 versions were made). Dave Bickers, Joel Robert, Roger DeCoster etc were great on these bikes.
ReplyDeleteI rode one of those red KTMs many times in the 70s. Great bike. The 250 was known as the Moiseev Replica after KTMs World 250 Champion.
