Guzzi Race Bikes

Here's a few pics of some UK Guzzi racers from 15 - 20 + years ago.
   The first is from TAB Racing  a pair of local friends based ( at the time)  here in Bristol -  Bedwyr and Torquil. Torquil once had a stint racing the Raceco / Three Cross Daytona.
  The 2nd is the old Jim Blomley bike 
  The 3rd is a later Blomley bike
  The 4th is the Bob Clarke (brother of Chris Clarke) and apparently used as a back up to the main bike - coincidentally I bought this around the same time as I had the Chris Clarke bike
  The Chris Clarke/Raceco bike from the early 90's

    2. Hello John, No problem. Still registered in Switzerland but I thought you'd been living back in the UK for a long time?

    1. Hello Davide, Sorry not reply sooner but I've only just seen you comment. Sadly there is not much more that I can tell you about the TAB racing Guzzi. I believe it still exists and is in storage but other that what I wrote on my post I have nothing else to offer. I don't think that they raced it for very long. Torquil who also rode it trained/worked at Ricardo Engineering here in the UK and also worked on Indy cars in California for a number of years. For a very short period he also rode the Raceco Guzzi Daytona. Bedwyr was an aircraft engineer so two sets of very good brains!
