A friend of my who lives in Assen has an entry form for the Dutch TT races of Jim Redman and a letter from Mike Hailwood asking starting money. (Not for sale)

FuZZie · « **Reply #51 on:** February 14, 2012, 12:22:48 PM »

It's a nice print guys, old black and white on quality paper. The focus just right on the bike and well shipped not a crease to be found!

Thanks Sam and best wishes bear!

Thanks FuZZie, the packaging was a little over the top (cost) and the weight probably caused the postage to be more than the card/paper option but the all card envelope was cheaper than the card/paper job, how does that figure $:-\$

Rene, I think we can do a little better than a request for entry from Jim and a plea from Mike for start money that is not for sale.

Would anyone pay for a letter from the Motor Club Vitesse, a Dutch International promotor offering a rider a payout if he rides in their International meeting in Holland.

I'll sign it as well for free

and throw in Jim Redmans autograph made out to you personally from Jim......How's that for a deal.

That has to be worth a few Guilders for the Brian fund.

Sam.

OK, so nobody wants my autograph

so how about a picture of four bikes that we all know about.
A colour (color for you lot that spell funny) picture of the complete factory Honda team at Daytona 1970. All the riders, mechanics and bikes. This is color in it's infancy and not brilliant but I can get it signed for definite by rider Tommy Robb and mechanic Steve Murray. It might be possible to get riders Bill Smith and Ralph Bryans as well if there is enough interest to make it worth tracking the latter two down. Overall cost shipped to the States would be around £5 so anything offered above that would go to the Brian Bear fund. What say Yee?

The prints reached my side of Canuckistan today - it looks great! I'll snap some pics once I find a decent frame.

Thanks again Sam!

Mine arrived last week, love it Sam!

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #56 on:** February 15, 2012, 01:48:34 AM »

Glad you all like them.

I guess the one that went all the way to the other side of England didn't get there yet.

ERIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tell you what Sam make me a package of prints, copies of whatever you have a one envelope thing. I'll bid another 50 (that print looks good but it's looking lonely in the shop...)

and you autograph yours.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #58 on:** February 15, 2012, 02:35:38 PM »

I'll look into at work tomorrow. If they will let me use the colour printer and as long as you don't mind them on paper, I'll cover the postage and put in about a dozen pics.
If anyone wants to come in on this I will need you to cover post and packing as the envelopes are expensive and only available in 10s.
To the US/CAN post will be about £4 and envelope just under £1 = £5....I can't afford to cover it all if any amount is wanted.

Sam.

FuZZie · « **Reply #59 on:** February 15, 2012, 03:01:07 PM »

Colour on printer paper would be just fine I'm liking the nostalgia look for the shop!

so would you want a 25$ bonus mission (won't be as easy as last one....)?

Doug, If you want the pack, I'll cover it, Pay what you want. I'm sure when you tell people what you got there will be others wanting and I won't be able to cover a group send.
I'll do yours and if anyone wants them, I'll need £5 (about $9) to cover my costs.
Send £5 to me and make a donation to Brian and get the bumper pack to adorn you workshop.

Sam.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #61 on:** February 16, 2012, 05:16:49 AM »

Thanks Doug, I just got the postage cover. I'll see what I can put together tonight but my boss hasn't been in today so was unable to ask could I have the use of the colour printer. I'll sort you something one way or another.

Sam.

FuZZie · « **Reply #62 on:** February 16, 2012, 05:25:11 AM »

No worries,

Cost is done, I remember reading something about terry and the donations is that who I send to?

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #63 on:** February 16, 2012, 05:50:52 AM »

PM on its way.

Sam.

FuZZie · « **Reply #64 on:** February 16, 2012, 06:25:05 AM »

Done Sam, put in 50 USD (and included user name

)

Tintop · « **Reply #65 on:** February 16, 2012, 06:51:18 PM »

The signed Honda team pic is of interest Sam, but I'm not sure where this stands now. The Hailwood pic is waiting for a frame, and could use a companion.

Have a few more $'s available for the Brian fund. PM me please.

Brian

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #66 on:** February 22, 2012, 03:31:51 PM »

Brian, sorry for the delay posting the team picture to you, the brand new £7,000 printer at work messed up so I'll have to go into town at the weekend to get them done.
I'll make it up to you with a couple of extra pics that I found.

Sam.

FuZZie · « **Reply #67 on:** March 09, 2012, 08:26:24 AM »

I got the prints, man they are really nice!

I have a few , favourites.

The the robb RC163 litho/print is just wicked.
The honda team, man Tintop your really going to like it.
The up sweep shot of you and your bike is really a dramatic shot.

Now I've got one little question... just where is your other hand in talk torque that babe is sweet

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #68 on:** March 09, 2012, 01:34:07 PM »

Ha ha Dougie, that's Amy, a friend of mine from the local pub.

Glad you like the UP SHOT, one of my favourites.
The black and white shot of Tommy and Steve was one of the first pictures taken at Daytona in 1970.
Tommy was pictured prior to going to the very first tech inspection. He was told he could not race in all black leathers so he painted white stripes down the arms and legs of the leathers prior to the white ones with the red stripes turning up from Honda.

Doug, if you look at the wording on it by Tommy, it is to Chris my rider wishing that his bike don't suffer the same fate as the Daytona bikes.

It never did and as far as I know is still running.

Sam.
