SIore: SEATTLE Sliop Cycle News Advertise e ts ••• for the lIest. street scramblers are the lastest thing to tltilate our modish Pepsi Generation, that Is if you pay attention to the big four-color ads. Facts and figures tossed Impressivelyaround by the industry headS further convince us that we are lucky. How many of us wonder what a street scrambler really is? Or do we, unhappily, already know. Old TImers(read pre-Japanese) will have their own opinIon. There was a time when racing bikes were ridden to the track. They still are in some parts of the world. Some even had a girl and a lunch on the pl1l1on pad (remember that?), But then maybe these weren't tracks. Certainly not sophisticated "cycle parks" like we have now. Or maybe the bikes weren't racers either. They certainly weren't the high strung, tempermental, pampered, expensive and super-efficient bombs we have today. Wonder If those oldies weren't as much fun? The latest unlikely street scrambler being prepared currently by unlikely Torsten Hallman is from Husqvarna.. This one has two, count'em, engines for double your pleasure in case you need MORE horsepower. Possibly Hallman can use the extra power but how many others can? And make no miStake, th1s street scrambler has snch an excellent chasSis UDder it some could easily end up on the mota-cross course. Nowonder Hallman is trying to retire. TV Series The very important winter television series of races by the BBC in England ts pow over. Because of its impact on the home market these events were as hotly contested as the world championships, Works teams from BSA, Greeves, CZ, Husqyarna, AJS, OssaandRlckman/ Matisse were all present. Big John Banks, 14 stone (nearly 200 pounds to you), clinched the 75llcc Grandstand Trophy, Banks Is the BSA hopeful to replace Jeff Smith and was runner-up in last year's GP 500 class. Smith ftnished fourth behind another BSA and a big Greeves Griffon. The 250 Trophy fell to Husqvarna. (Alan Clough) alter a tremendous tussle with the new AJS machine ridden by Malcom Davis, they were level pegging the entire series until the final event when a poor grade gasollne caused the AJay to stick. Greeves' new Griffons finished third and fourth with Bryan Wade fourth alter competing in only half the events due to racing here this winter. Castrol 4 s ·Modest Rewud" /SIJODSOrship Is a touchy thing, always, and rather scarce in th1s country. In Europe oll and petroleum companies often sponsor races and riders. castrol, the Engllsh oll people, have diverted some impressive amounts of money back into motorcycles. Latest is what they call the "Castro! Motor Cycle Design A ward" and it goes, each year. to the individual or group that makes the most significant contribution to safety, comfort or performance in British motorcycle design. Not bad, eh? A 2,400 dollar chunk of change. A "modest _y of rewarding," comments the castrol Group modestly. Not only that but they have dumped an undisclosed amount into the Read/Weslake concern, with no strings attached. This Is inteoded to helP get the Harry Weslake-engined Metlsse on the tracks. World Champion Phil Read has joined forces and will campaign the machine and sort out bugs. The engine Is all new, a twin overhead came with eight valves. Since it is all new and untried one might think th1s was a risky investment for Castrol. The rationaliZation must be patriotic, Would that America. could afford such patriots, other than in Mllwaukee.
