This is my old race bike which I raced with New Era and North Glos in 2002. I sold it to someone in the isle of man in 2004 and just wonder if anyone knows if it still exists. It was an SP with lots of changes and made about 79=80 HP at the time I sold it.
Just interested if it's still being raced really.

Nice looking bike. Dare I say it but its probably long since been smashed to smithereens and the remanence sold on....
....or perhaps not everyone like to test the limits of grip quite as much as me.
Best of luck with tracking it down.

Mmmm - looks familiar. I live on the IoM and for some reason I seem to remember the colour scheme and the BVS sticker however I could be wrong.
Did a Chap called Andy buy it or was it Dave......am not sure.
Head to the Andreas Racing Association website and you'll be able to find links to Togs websites.
John Turton in the IoM takes loads of pics of the racing up Jurby, you might be able to Sherlock the owner down.
Good luck.

Andy Harvey is his name and he's just sold one of the engines I believe.

That sounds about right the bike had a spare tuned engine, do you know if he's still racing it?

Mmmm - not too sure, I dont think so. Think he had a big off on it and the bike and Andy got pretty badly bashed about.
It was sitting in his garage for ages as I was after the 1mm o/s engine, but he'd never sell.
