F.R.W.ENGLAND MIKE HAILWOOD,MBE,GM Where do I begin. My main thoughts are with you and hope you are all safe, CHARLES MORTIMER ARTHUR WHEELER well and are managing to keep your life going along as smoothly as possible. BILL SMITH BILL LOMAS I do have to start by giving you the news that we are having to hold the KEN BILLS ROD COLEMAN EGM for Fottra members in the Isle of Man. This has given Judith and I a CECIL SANDFORD tremendous amount of work and because of Covid this is the only way TONY JEFFERIES ERNIE LYONS we can adhere to the Charity Commissioners Isle of Man Rules. You will STUART GRAHAM find all the relevant details and official paperwork which we trust you will JOHN SURTEES,MBE reply on the necessary voting forms, this is to be treated as urgent if you SAMMY MILLER PIP HARRIS would be so kind. A reply envelope is included. TOMMY ROBB I must apologise for this on behalf of the committee and hope you will CHARLIE WILLIAMS LUIGI TAVERI co-operate. PETER WILLIAMS JOEY DUNLOP.OBE The EGM for FoTTRA is Tuesday December 29th 2020. MICK BODDICE JACK WOOD th TONY RUTTER The Annual General Meeting is being held Saturday January 9 2021 MICK GRANT NICK JEFFERIES COLIN SEELEY We are hoping that the IOM resident members will attend. NEIL TUXWORTH ----------------------------------------------------------- PHILLIP McCALLEN JOHN KIDSON MICK CHATTERTON Who would have ever thought this time last year what we were heading for and NIGEL ROLLASON with deep regret we have lost members throughout the year, the last MALCOLM WHEELER ROY HANKS newsletter was purposely cut short on the Under the Chequered flag as I felt it DAVID MADSEN-MYGDAL was a bit too much. I like to proportion the names from the well known to the ALEX GEORGE many who put their heart and soul into their dream to race at the Isle of Man RICHARD QUAYLE MARIA COSTELLO, MBE TT races and are not so well recognised, in our thoughts all members have done the business which is an achievement and to be admired, they are still in our memories. 2. the pleasu I would like to give our thanks to many who have sent donations in lieu of their Luncheon Tickets. As you will be aware our main fund raising day has not happened, no TT race week when large donations are collected, our collection boxes were not distributed around the Island. Of course we are still caring for 2. NEW PRESIDENT FOR THE YEAR 2020-2021 It is our great pleasure to announce the new President is Mr Ben Birchall. Sadly it is unfortunate that we are not able to have the grand entrance but it has been agreed that we will make a special event for next year. Like a lot of annual events it has all been put in corruption but we must carry on. Ben will be a great ambassador and spread the word wherever he can. He and his brother Tom have been involved in Fundraising for the TTRA. One of the big events was when they did a head shave on two special lady fundraisers and supporters of the TTRA. This was in a TT week which helped to raise a considerable amount of money. WE MUST ALL KEEP IN GOOD SPIRIT AND HOPE FOR A BETTER YEAR 2021. It maybe of interest to know that we have organised a PAYPAL Account which is to [email protected] pay into “ friends and family “ so we don’t have to pay any charges. Any payments will be paid straight into TT Riders Association bank account. It has been suggested by a few that perhaps to help the financial status and loss that we are experiencing and will continue to for some time maybe organise a standing order for say £5 per month to the TTRA. If this appeals to any of you please give me a call. Thank you. XMAS CARDS. For anyone who is interested. I purchased from the Hospice IoM which gave them a donation, and in turn if you are interested to buy a pack of 10 cards postage included for £7. that will make just over £1 on each order of 10 cards for the TTRA. They are a very appropriate scene. The IOM Grandstand full of people watching Father Christmas on a Motorbike, doing a wheelie in the pits. Really cheerful, the size is about 6”x 6”, I could not resist them. UNDER THE CHEQUERED FLAG. The last newsletter had to be cut short due to the number of sad losses. Billy McCosh.

There he worked in the race shop under Joe Craig building and developing Manx Nortons which included testing at MIRA with the works rider of the time. He also built and raced his own Manx on all the British circuits including the Isle of Man. In 1953 Norton were keen to add the Sidecar world championship to their solo successes and Joe Craig sent Stan off to work with Eric Oliver on this project which included acting as passenger even though this is something Stan had never done before. Stan incidentally never agreed with the term passenger as a description of a sidecar racing partnership. Eric Oliver with Stan won the 1953 World Championship. At the same time Stan was riding his own 500 Manx at all the GP’s for a little extra start money as it was well known that Norton Motors did not go over the top when it came to employees’ wages.

  • Colin Seeley Colin Began His Career As an Apprentice with Harcourt
    Speaker: Colin Seeley Colin began his career as an apprentice with Harcourt Motorcycles. By 1954 and aged just 18, Colin had branched out on his own and secured premises in Belvedere, Kent, which laid the foundations for his successful dealership and workshop. During that same year, Colin also entered his first race at Brands Hatch, riding a borrowed 500cc BSA Star Twin. 1960 saw Colin and his friend acquire a sidecar outfit based on a Manx Norton which they raced for the first time that year at Snetterton. Just one year later in 1961, Colin entered his first Grand Prix event, the Isle of Man TT this time using a Matchless G50 modified and fitted with a Canterbury racing sidecar and achieved 6th place. Colin raced in numerous competitions between 1961 and 1967 including the British and world championship sidecar competitions. Using his own design of machines achieved a first place in the 1964 Dutch TT and 2nd in the Isle of Man TT sidecar competition not to mention coming close to winning the world championships. Through the mid to late 60’s Colin concentrated more and more on the design and construction of Seeley framed racing motorcycles. By the late 60’s and into the early 70s (by which time nearly all the major motorcycle manufacturers had pulled out of Grand Prix racing) the Seeley designed frame became the first choice for the privateer racers of that era. In 1969 the Mark 3 version of the Seeley racing frame was adapted to house the Norton Commando 750 motor and by that time Colin’s designs had become so successful in competition that he deservedly earned a reputation as one of the best motorcycle frame designers in the industry.

  • Classic Bike Dossier June 2004 02 Honda Cb750
    054_CBIKEJUNE 10/5/04 8:08 am Page 2 Glamorous and glorious Big Japanese in-line fours start with the Honda CB750. It’s cheap, invincible, and it’ll get you there on modern roads Thirty five years ago, Honda changed motorcycling forever by making the first mass produced in-line four. The 125mph CB750 had features that rival’s brochures just could not match. They included an engine with obvious grand prix ancestry, electric starting, a five-speed gearbox and a disc front brake. The Dream Four, as Honda originally named it, was unveiled at the 1968 Tokyo Show and was on US roads the following summer. It was sold in the UK from January 1970. Despite huge development costs, the blockbuster four was keenly priced – it cost less than a Triumph triple in the US. They sold by the shedload. Hugely influential, the CB750 design remained in production until 1978, with updates and derivatives. An estimated total of 553,000 were built. Well equipped – and weighty – the CB750 offers a remarkably modern level of sophistication. Prices are rising and some spares are getting scarce, but the dependable Honda can take you many miles at modern traffic speeds with hardly any spannering.

  • Grand Prix World Tour 2014
    IVAO GP World Tour 2014 Grand Prix World Tour 2014 You are more than welcome on the Grand Prix World Tour 2014! The 2014 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season will be the 66th F.I.M. Road Racing World Championship season. Created by: Laszlo Geller (VID: 260564) IVAO GP World Tour 2014 What is Grand Prix? Boasting 63 years of history, MotoGP™ is the oldest of all motorsports World Championships - its first annual competition having been held in 1949.From the early 1900s motorcycle Grands Prix were held in various countries and in 1938 the predecessor to the current FIM, the FICM (Fédération Internationale des Clubs Motocyclistes), announced a European Championship. However, the start of the Second World War interrupted the competition and it then took some time after the war for fuel to become available, before a truly international series could be created. EARLY DAYS When the first formal World Championship was held in 1949 Grand Prix racing comprised four solo classes, with the inaugural ‘premier class’ 500cc title being won by British rider Leslie Graham on AJS machinery. Another Brit, Freddie Frith (Velocette) took the first ever 350cc World title, while Italians Bruno Ruffo (Moto Guzzi) and Nello Pagani (Mondial) were the first 250cc and 125cc World Champions respectively. A 600cc sidecar championship in the same season was won by Britons Eric Oliver and Denis Jenkinson with Norton machinery, though the sidecar category became a 500cc competition in 1951. The Italian manufacturers such as the aforementioned Mondial and Moto Guzzi firms, along with companies such as Gilera and MV Agusta, dominated the World Championships during the 1950s, reflecting the strength of the country’s motorcycle industry at the time.
