      I have an early 60's Go Kart Chassis does anyone of the forum members know if there is any interest in Classic Karting?

          This club have been at the NEC Classic Car show the last few times I've been. I had a chat with one of the gents on the stand last year, but no further involvement than that

            When I were a boy… I had a Zip Silverstone 125 gearbox kart , which went like stink, and scared the crap out of me . One day i was going down our lane fairly briskly , on the pipe, ( t'was savage! ) and stepping out a bit , around a bend …….and crashed head on into the local Copper on his noddy bike , coming the other way , knocking him off it ! Ripped the knees and elbows out of his uniform and wasn't best pleased with me . surprise

            Never grassed me up to my Dad though, yes

                Noddy bike – sounds like the water cooled velocette valiant with aluminium leg shields if my failing memory serves me right. – something like the1950's ?

                You could not really hear them coming – first you knew about it was the hand on your collar – happy days.

                  The noddy bike was the Velo LE not the Valiant. Used in the 50s and 60s, they'd still got a couple at the station in'72 when I started
