This site isn't finished! |
I would still like to hear from people who
worked for Alf Childs or Hap Alzina while the twin carb kits were on sale. Contact me at -
myles.raymond@btinternet.com |
|
| Most special thanks... |
to Daniel Boss,
whose BSA Super Rocket web site was the
inspiration for starting this site and whose contacts, hints, tips, photos and encouragement made me finish
it. |
|
| and gratitude... |
Brian Pollitt of the UK BSAOC, Clark Francy, Mirek
Sharp, Tony Boothman, Brett 'Rickman' Matthews and Walt
Malec - many thanks, guys. |
|
| and a special mention... |
to Johann Patek for his photos of the well-made DIY twin carb heads,
tales of wild Viennese twin carb racers and encouragement to keep
drinking that most splendid product of the Czech Republic, Staropramen. And
Johann, you were right about the GSOC... |
|
| and also... |
to Gene Thiessen for notes
and details about the fastest twin BSA ever made - he rode it. |
|
| and finally... |
to
Arthur Lupton
for his famous red book and tales from within - Arthur worked at BSA on the
Daytona machines and provided help, encouragement and in
beautifully hand written letters until his death in June 2001. |
