Possibly because it was always painted red until about ten years ago?

Bill Organ had it in the 70s & early 80s, then Sean Mcginley followed by the Mad Monk and Ron Jones before Mick bought it.

Superb Bob, & very well engineered, sad that not many try something "different" now a days. CR on its way to you.

Thanks Ian, the photos are Mick's, all I did was to post them - let you know when CR arrives. That was a nice piece of engineering, the only weak point is the outrigger bearing on the gearbox drive shaft carrying the clutch, that bearing tends to have a very short life span.

Folks do not try anything 'different' these days because the rules are so restrictive and hidebound but my views are fairly well known on that matter 8-)
