Charlie Williams - Revvin rich - 04-05-2019
Just finished reading Charlie's book it's a good read and well worth tenner.
RE: Charlie Williams - Alfie Noakes - 04-05-2019
my TZ 350 hero, Charlie's near 113mph lap in 1979 has to be one of the best laps ever on a small 2-stroke especially given the state of the roads in those days and that was well before any course/corner changes. Jon Ekerold's book "The Privateer" is another good read about 350's
RE: Charlie Williams - Nasher - 04-05-2019
Yep, that '79 lap was one of the highlights of the TT for me also
Amazing rider
RE: Charlie Williams - jeffa - 05-05-2019
What is the book title please
RE: Charlie Williams - Revvin rich - 05-05-2019
Hi Jeffa the book is called ( it was the best of times) the racing career of Charlie Williams.

Here's another one (moon eyes) it's about the racing career of John Cooper the younger one's of the forum probably won't remember him but he was a top racer in the sixties it's more a thick magazine but at £6.99 is well worth it
RE: Charlie Williams - Revvin rich - 05-05-2019
Alfie you are quite right did most of his winning on two strokes and still a fierce competitor on a old rudge to this day not bad for a chap of 68 years old
RE: Charlie Williams - jeffa - 05-05-2019
Thanks Rich, great racer with massive knowlege of TT
RE: Charlie Williams - bsa499 - 06-05-2019
I'd like a copy of both Charlie Williams's and John Cooper's books. Can anyone advise where I can buy them?
RE: Charlie Williams - Revvin rich - 07-05-2019
I got mine from the classic bike show at Stafford, but if you Google it you can buy the John Cooper one on line tried to find the Charlie one to but no luck but if you or any of your mates are going to the TT i would think you could get one there or even try ringing( every thing but bikes) in Chester his mate runs it now, good luck.
