Title: L J K Setright.
Post by: Hampshirebiker on 13 Aug 2015 at 11:33
I apologise if this has been covered before, but my search did not bring up any results.
Back in (I think) the late 60s "Motorcycle Sport" ran an article by Leonard Setright (normaly signed LJKS) on the racing 90plus. He owned one of these machines and the article was well up to his normal standards. Despite searches at autojumbles I've never located a copy.
If anyone has a copy & could scan/email I would much appreciate it. Please send a PM for my email.
Many thanks, Dave.

Hi Dave,

I almost certainly have the magazine, but not the time to search for the article. Can you narrow down the date for the article in MCS?

Hi Hampshirebiker

I have a copy of that already scanned from dad's files, I am wondering if I can upload it to the technical section.

I will try all the best Andrew

PS Also got another article on the Plus 90

Thanks to Andrew's efforts I have just finished reading the article. A very entertaining read it is too. It has now been downloaded into "technical articles". Get reading chaps.

Thanks Dave and Andy - a very enjoyable read. When next I trip over an available 90-Plus I will bring it home with me!
