Is my father the oldest KR1-S rider?

[The Prodigal Son]

This is my bike which I've had for 14 years.

My dad is 66 and is riding this at present.

It looks a bit different since he fell of it at the Hoghton Tower Sprint

Minimal damage (and the bike is nearly back to as shown)

The plan is to get this back to original white green blue C4 colours.
I still have the bodywork which will be sorted (when I get the time)

i was planning on going to the hogton tower sprint but it was pissing down so didnt bother.

nice kr1s mate...
dont know who makes the tailpiece but i got one on a race bike i bought recently.....

unfortunately, a couple of months or so ago, i sold my kr1, i,m 67

The bodywork came as a job lot for £30 about twelve years ago.
I'm not sure who made it, but it's the same seat as what is on my sprint KR1-S.

That was the first (and last!!!) time I will race at Hoghton Tower Col
Apart from the weather, the pit area could only be described as a quarry.
I know my bike is low (3" clearance) but I had to push it through the pits, as it would ground out badly.

The bike just went sideways off the line (should have brought my racing wet rear ) and I was more concerned about getting my dad checked out from his earlier accident.

I should have done the Straightliners meet at Elvington instead


Jeez Rockerted, it looks like you have handed on the title
