yamsel
anybody got any info on yamsel motorcycles?
were they supported officially in any way or were they just a standard modification of putting a yamaha engine and other parts onto a seeley frame?

Re: yamsel
yep , as far as i can remember , it was a yamaha engine mounted in a seeley frame , it certainly was a very successful almaganation , many top riders scored sucess with these , i think John Cooper was one of the 1st ( if not , the 1st ) to score a major win on one of these machines , at the nw200!, Ray McCullough also had a lot of sucess as well on his silver livried machine.remember the ugp, ;leading Read , Sarrinen, Peter Williams etc.

Re: yamsel
Was it John 'Mooneyes' Cooper who was one of the first to successfully race a Yamsel? Not sure how much input the Seeley company had with this bike. Joey also rode a Rea Yamsel in his first TT.

Re: yamsel
Sam, its not a problem, don't worry about it...lots of people mention their bikes for sale on here. There is also a free advertising section elsewhere on the site if you'd like to use it. Good luck selling her...I'd buy if I had the dosh!

RE: yamsel + photo exhibition
Coincidentally, I had prepared this picture for our second annual TT Photo Exhibition.
The exhibition will again be held at the Laxey Woollen Mills, Glen Road, Laxey from May 23 to June 13, Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. We will also be open on Mad Sunday. Free admission but a contribution to the MGP Helicopter Fund will be most welcome.
We hope to have the Senior TT trophy on display on May 23rd, and also hope to run an autojumble in the car park that day - more details later
I'm on the Great Flapjack Foray of Life - can't you tell!

On the start line the fuel tank developed a slight weep. My Dad dashed to the ladies toilet, knicked a bar of soap, and promptly rubbed the soap into the weep. Job done! Race won!! The times I've used that trick in the: Scottish Six Days, the ISDT, the MGP, and the TT. 'Cos as you know petrol is impervious to soap.
I didn't know that trick, Nick.
However, I was once advised that you could use porridge oats in leaky car radiators.
I tried the theory out in my 1931 Austin 7 but over did it. The resulting porridge blocked up the thermo syphon principle, spewed out from the overflow vent and set like concrete. It was several days clean-up before I could re-solder the header tank as I should have done in the first place.
