From a fan’s POV
Dear CR Excellent magazine as usual,thank you,have been a reader since issue one. Loved the article on Ray Knight and as with the one on Ernie Bryant it brought back memories of BFRC and Racing 50 club meetings at Cadwell Park. l remember the collecting area down by the cafe where you pulled out your…

Aw, dammit…
Elsewhere on these opening pages of CR you can read Malc’s thoughts about spending time with Gene Romero, who passed away recently. Malc, quite rightly, views his time with the On Any Sunday star – and wonderfully talented racing icon – as a treat. I too spent time with Romero at the Stafford Show when…

Good, good, slip
“Good article about the ex-Frank Perris machine in issue 195. A handful of these made their way down under in the late 1960s; Melbourne rider Peter Jones rode one to many wins.”

A Knight tale
Dear CR Thanks for the excellent article about Ray Knight in CR196. It brought some good memories back for me as I started racing in 1964 on a production Honda 250 CB72, which was also my ride to work bike. Like so many others I was in my late teens and mad as a box…

The memories of the TR250
Dear CR I really enjoyed your article on the Frank Perris Suzuki TR250. It took me back to 1972 when I also had a TR250 ex-Doug Lunn (nice chap). It was really a super six with TR250 heads, barrels, carbs, ignition, etc. It had MP forks and a Grimea front brake. It was about as…

Help needed!
Dear CR I just bought this bike, but I do not know his story, can you help me? It has a Yamaha TD1C engine, Rickman front fork, gas tank, seat and fairing Rickman product. The frame and all the polyester was yellow, before being black and white but who is the manufacturer of the frame?…

Being Frank
Dear CR The article in issue 195 of the mag about the Suzuki TR250 ridden by Frank Perris reminded me of the first 250 twin raced by Frank Perris a few years before his 1969 rides. Cadwell Park, September 16 1962, Perris and Hugh Anderson both turned out on the works Suzuki machines. Anderson rode…

Welcome: How much, then?
In the process of winter blues, I recently made the mistake of visiting an old friend at his dealership. I was there for a meeting with other people but factored in time to see said mate and chew over both the fat of the land and various gossip from various corners of the paddock. The…

Moving on
So, another year of racing draws to a close. And as such we stop for a moment, pausing to catch our collective breath, remembering those we lost along the way. It’s an odd time for remembrance and excitement of what can be achieved next year. We’re now into a time of possibilities and plans. Can’t wait…
