"Here’s the first pic of the RS tracker project. A butchered frame, swinging arm and wheels.

For all the purists out there, the frames sub-frame had already been removed before I got it. I’ve
just removed the brackets that had been welded on. I now intend to get it all over to the soda
blasters, then once back I’ll fabricate a new rear sub-frame and take things from there.

I hope the performance pooleece will be on the ball to keep me on my toes 😉?"

A quick video showing the swinging arm build and a short bit of the ride to the MOT station, Im listening to the video from 50 seconds, the bike is around 2250 rpm I think it sounds like a V1 doodlebug

It is a shame. But I suspect that this really was brought about by their change from competition based and highly respected machinery to hipster status symbols. I seem to remember various changes in ownership over the last years.

Well.... had a bit of good news today. The frame I’ve got is genuine. Long, boring story which I honestly can’t be bothered typing it all.
Anyway, it’s all systems go now. So I’ll forward Bill a few photos as he’s kindly offered to post them fir me 👍
The performance pooleece can start watching from today because the “different tracker” project is back on 👍😉
Cheers, Michael
