    Can anyone verify the frame numbers of the Works MX4's and who they were allocated to including Bryan Wade's?

This is very much in evidence in the third pic too, taken during a testing session for the early Griffons.

      As always, if any viewers can offer any further background or information regarding these pics, it would be marvellous to hear more about them!

      Hope everyone enjoys seeing them.

      Brian.

        We have a few in the archive, if he'd like to contact me. All black and white, though.

          Works Machines

          If you are working on the process of elimination I have WM12 which went to Alec Wright, however it is not a solo machine.

                    Another Bryan Wade Pic.

                    I was scanning some other bits and bobs today and as this was to hand I thought I'd add it to the collection here.

                    Andrew King kindly published it in 'LL' #18 (August 1987) for Kenny Sykes (Bearingman) - see caption, with additional details, scanned seperately in pic 2 - and I'm sure it will be appreciated by all the many BW fans on here as well.

                    Brian.

                        More Bryan Wade pics, by popular demand!

                        So....what's the 'magic word' then Mr G.....?!

                        Here's a couple more for the collection then, black and white maybe, but still cracking pics.

                        Pic 1 attached below and it's caption (pic 2, scanned seperately for clarity reasons etc) were published on the front cover of 'LL' #21, thanks yet again to Andrew King. Incidently, the Chris Goodfellow 'Comp Shop' article mentioned in the caption can be found here by the way - see posts #12 and #13; http://www.greeves-riders.org.uk/for...3530#post23530

                        Similarly, Pic 3 appeared on the front cover of 'LL' #52. I have no other details for this one, other than I have seen it used elsewhere to promote Greeves, including a 'Motorcycle Mechanics' magazine article. (See this thread, post #3 - pic 1; http://www.greeves-riders.org.uk/for...ead.php?t=4858)

                        Hope everyone enjoys them as much as me! Legend is bang on when applied to Bryan Wade, in my humble opinion.

                        Brian.

                            Bryan Wades first job

                            When Bryan left school and was scrambling only as a weekend hobby, my dad took him on as motorcycle salesman/dogsbody at White Brothers in Darlington. This was the largest motorcycle shop in the area.
