Author Message   Crowley Posted on Sunday, March 27, 2011 - 02:49 pm:        Each year, I host a hog roast BBQ for UKBEG members at my home, and its numbers grow each year (possibly the 2nd biggest gathering of Buelligans in the UK) and I would like to lead a ride out to Caernarvon where, I think, the type of 2 stroke motor that Erik used to race were built at some time. Does anyone know the actual address of the factory, because it it would be cool to do a mini pilgrimage there? - it's about an hours ride from my gaff. Court, Dave, Annony?   Jules Posted on Sunday, March 27, 2011 - 03:46 pm:        I think you mean Barton Engineering in Caernarfon. Barry Hart was the guy that Suzuki ripped off and although he got an out of court settlement the cost of pursuing it cost him his business. Erik bought the engineering equipment from him...   Jules Posted on Sunday, March 27, 2011 - 03:50 pm:        This is one of the "Barton Buells":   Jules Posted on Sunday, March 27, 2011 - 04:01 pm:        As an aside, did you know that David Essex's "Silver Dream Machine" had a Barton engine...   Littlebutquick Posted on Sunday, March 27, 2011 - 04:06 pm:        jules you know to much   Usanigel Posted on Sunday, March 27, 2011 - 05:17 pm:        That movie is going back aways....I do remember watching it.   Duphuckincati Posted on Sunday, March 27, 2011 - 07:16 pm:        Oddly enough I JUST yesterday threw away a very poor video tape copy of SDR.   Jules Posted on Sunday, March 27, 2011 - 07:29 pm:        It was in the news this week, they've recovered it from Germany and refurbished it for the red carpet event for some new movie about bike racing. Davis Essex was there LOL
