Speedy,
Thank you for the link.  Grabbed a few off the 1976 collection of the UK Metro Police Team.  I believe this was the last year of their participation and the year the Cheney Triumph's retired from competition.

Sorry, not trying to be a Doubting Thomas here - but that does'nt look like a R26 to me, and it does'nt really look like JP. I think his number might have also been 128.
But I've been wrong before...

Well my friend,you are wrong again.
It is JOHN PENTON on a BMW 250.His Number is 128.It was his first ISDT and he won a Silver Med.just 70.05 points(Seconds)( 5 points) away from Gold.
I was there and met John for the first,but not for the LAST time.
My # in that ISDT was 180(there are several pictures)in the album.

BTW,John was the ONLY rider with a typically USA made rollchart container on his handlebar.People where astound and ask what that BOMB was for.:):):)

Number 8 in the pic is Buddy Ekins who won a Gold medal.
A 3. USA rider # 135 Geoge Steck Jr. on a Greeves DNF.
For some reason John was listet as riding for Canada.

Hello Dave.
Give him my e-mail address hecla at sympatico.ca and let him try again.
The best would be if he sends me a list with the parts he needs.His Herc is most likely a 1976 or 77.It may have being registret in 1978.

No my friend, I was commenting that you were wrong...that was before you changed rider number 126 to 128. ;)

Navigating the pages and viewing is almost painfully slow.  Here's the first one of Speedy encountered.

Did you ever notice the clothes that spectators wore?  Some really dressed-up people, including women in heels and men wearing suit coats!
