Marlin
Racing
The bright lights... the
stardom...the big bucks...no -
working thru the
night...rebuilding...testing...rebuilding---Yes!
And it is all great
fun!
Marlin Racing competes in the Classic Racing Motorcycle Club series all
round the UK. Starting in 2001 with a BSA Bantam (which never actually
managed more than 2 slow laps, but started about 5!) something had to
change, and the BSA was gracefully retired and replaced on track by a 1968
Ducati 250 Mk3. Finishing the season parading to learn the tracks, the
bike underwent a major rebuild over the winter to start racing proper in
2002.
At the end of 2002 a 1967 Ducati 350 was added to the garage and both
bikes were campaigned during 2003. After struggling to make the 250
competitive (a big rider doesn't help!), it was sold on mid-season, to be
replaced with a very different machine - a Yamaha TZ350 fitted with a
road-based, highly tuned RD350LC engine. This bike was built in 1984 for
the TT Formula II and competed in the Manx TT in 1984 & 1985.
