A real life Tamiya model ... remember those ?
Grand Prix at Motegi , but failed to qualify . The BSL was then granted wildcard status to any Grand Prix for the following season . But , sadly , it never raced in the 500cc class again . The Grand Prix racing world had gone four-stroke .
RESTORING A LEGEND Coady confesses that he is really only one thing . A motorcycle racer . It ’ s his blood and passion . He ’ s clearly right at home here in his haven , and talks freely of the beautiful 500 , with the calm authority of someone who has rebuilt
something from the first nut and bolt up . In fact , he ’ ll nearly always be found in his garage , especially if he has a thought at 2am - up he ’ ll get , to do something about it right then and there , rather than letting it nag at his sleep . His partner is a saint . He has polished , cleaned , replaced and refurbished the bike ’ s every single part , including its extraordinary solid billet aluminium framing , which gleams with the love of his labours like the brightest chrome .
