    Hawkstone 25SA Twin Register.

    Interesting post Stuart, thanks.

    It will be interesting to see how many are still out there. Funnily enough I recently saw one for sale on EBay (first I've ever seen for sale, ever!) Does anyone know if it was a GRA member who bought it? (It was in 'kit' form.)

    Also, I have a cracking shot of Brian Stonebridge riding a Hawkstone twin in a scramble (see attached.) It's one of my favourites!

    Once again in the interests of security, and prior to him having his status upgraded on the forum, I can confirm to members that Stuart is of course a GRA member.

    Brian.

      Thanks for the Stonebridge picture.When did you see one on E bay? I was told that the 2T was a bit heavy,was slow out of the corners but fast at the end of a straight,and was prone to the barrels filling with mud due to the small fins and overheating.Elsewhere I read that the final chain was prone to come off.I wonder if thats why they became street scramblers? There is also the rarer trials version ,the 25T.One of those appears at shows. Stuart

        Hawkstone Twin 25SA.

        Hi Stuart,

        Glad you liked the BGS pic (me too!), and it's a pleasure to share it with everyone.

        The bike I saw for sale on EBay was sometime in the last 6 months...I'm afraid I can't remember exactly when though. I seem to recall it was in pretty good condition and looked all there, stripped down and cleaned up ready to paint and assemble, and that it fetched decent money too, obviously bought by someone who knew what it was.

        I think the Trials 25TA you have seen at the shows may be the one belonging to Dave Bradley. A lovely machine, and well up to Dave's usual impeccable standards of restoration. For info it was featured in 'LL'#141.

        Brian.

          Maybe Colin has a record of it, he normally monitors eBay for LL

            I have to admit my eBay monitoring has slipped a bit of late, so I missed that. Hopefully normal service will be restored once we move house and settle in - hopefully by the end of June.

            Anyway, here's Dave Bradley's 25TA Scottish Twin and Tim Griffin's 25SA Hawkstone Twin...

              After 7 months nobody has admitted to owning a 25SA so they must be rare !

                About 12 to 15 years ago there was one at a scramble in West Wales, didn't cover herself with glory especially when she went backwards of the start line

                    I know about Adrians future Championship winning 25SA but not the others.If you could trace the other numbers that would be great as I have only heard of about 6 25SA,s. Thanks Stuart

                      Intending to do a restoration in the near future.

                        You have a very rare bike.Only 7 25SA are know to survive. 5 are 1958 and 2 are 1959 out of about 34 made. I presume that you bought it from Peter? If you require any information about it please ask. I would advise that you join the club as this will give you more access to the members etc. Stuart

                          Some of you may know Julian Smith, he rides as no. 258 with the Pre-65 Motocross Club, usually on a 360 Challenger and has been known to borrow a Hawkstone from time to time.

                          He told me at the weekend that he has obtained a genuine Hawkstone Twin, that he plans to race this year. Should be interesting!
