Ive got an old BBC Grandstand race featuring Jeff Smith etc. In black and white. Problem is its on betamax, anyone know if it can be digitised so I can upload it .Its an awsome race

[megasuggs]

It can be digitised, no problem, but you need to get hold of an old betamax machine to play it on, there are firms who could do it for you, but at a price.

This is a long shot. In 1964, I had a jigsaw puzzle of a cross country scramble. Bikes emerged in the distance from the centre left of the picture, passed groups of spectators, & climbed uphill to the foreground. There was a cyclist in the centre & a large group of spectators right background. Centre background were fields and hedges with a mountain beyond. I can’t remember the puzzle maker or title.

I've been trying to get this puzzle for years. Does anyone remember it?

Awesome stuff, that track looks like it would be a blast to ride. those guys hit those whoops with just as much passion as Chad Reed does....

Cool vid, nice 500 Triumph with high pipes.

Great. Brings back good memories. I used to watch scrambling at my local track at Jewels Hill in Kent in the 60s.

Can 1960 really be 50 years ago???

Hi,

I think I now own your dads old Bultaco 350 Sherpa, his name is on the log book and it was supplied by Keith Potter m/c, It looks like your dad own it from new 1977 to 1999. Would love to have some info on the bike and your dad if possible. The Bultaco is all original and in superb condition.

Regards, Steve Hunter
