t_r1.jpg - 5260 Bytes MB's first group six racer, we got a win and beat Guy Topper who always used to win. The start of winning ways, we won various championships. Two years later we even won the European championships twice.
t_r2.jpg - 4294 Bytes This is a group 5 150cc racer with a TS1 engine.
t_r3.jpg - 3816 Bytes It was painted orange and green (as were all the teams scooters), I loved it - everyone hated it BUT you saw them coming.
t_r4.jpg - 4863 Bytes This bike ended up at 25hp 150cc, it won loads of races both in the UK and Europe. It won the UK championship and beat most group 6 250cc engines. It even broke the riders collarbone!!
t_r5.jpg - 4600 Bytes My favourite racer ridden by my favourite mate Rob Miller. It's been rebuilt on a number of occasions as Rob doesn't know when to slow down (usually crashes while leading the field!).
t_r6.jpg - 4642 Bytes This is on collection day the first time. It ended up at 25hp and set the pace for other dealers to follow. We then pulled out and Rob retired. At close to 50 years old he's up for it again!!
t_r7.jpg - 4568 Bytes This bike has set the fastest accelerating full bodywork 200cc record at, I think, 14.20 seconds for a quarter mile standing start. The bike is now a ROAD bike and this race engine did the euro lambretta in Ireland two up!
t_r8.jpg - 4062 Bytes Sprinter number 2, number 1 was white and green. It's second run did a quarter mile standing start in 13.50secs with a terminal speed of 98mph. 40hp on a lambretta barrel.
t_r9.jpg - 4221 Bytes Sprinter number 2 again. You never new which direction the bike was going to go when you dumped the clutch. That's good fun!!
t_r10.jpg - 4175 Bytes The MB team in 1996 in the Czech republic, all five came in top 8. Mark came last in first practice, 2nd last in 2nd practice, 8th in first race and 6th in 2nd race (out of 45 people) then had to go home. Not bad for first time round a race track!! Business commitments just didn't allow time for track racing. Left it to others to win!
t_r11.jpg - 4803 Bytes That little scooter holds Mark's weight whilst warming up for a sprint!
t_r12.jpg - 4 Kbytes The latest MBD sprinter.
t_r13.jpg - 4 Kbytes The main man being silly at some washed out sprint meeting. Super lite bike!! 13 second 1/4 mile standing starts every time we take it out.
