I've been racing on & off since age 13 (I'm 41 now). These days, I ride UK pre-65 MX events on a 470cc BSA Victor, plus 'twin-shock' events (ie pre-81..ish) on a 79 580 CCM.
I'm currently restoring another CCM - a 79 580 4-valve, which should be finished in a few weeks. After that, I will start work on the Heuser, although it will actually be coming apart this weekend.
I live near Cardigan, on the west Wales coast. There's a pretty good racing scene here, with three promoting clubs all within about 90 minutes drive (one track is only ten minutes away!). Occasionally, I make a trip further afield and I will be racing again at Farleigh Castle (near Bath) in July. Farleigh is the old British GP track and is probably the biggest vintage MX event of the year in the UK, although there are two others (one at Hawkstone Park, Shrewsbury; the other at Canada Heights, Kent) which come pretty close.
The BSA is currently in bits at the moment. As soon as its back together, I'll send you a pic of that as well!
Hope this is useful...!
cheers
Andrew
