Dave C 42 Posted May 26, 2010 I recently stumbled across an excellent website called "The Workshop" that details a vast number of speedway bikes from the 1920s up until the 1990s. It appears that the site has not been updated for the best part of a decade, but it is archived on cybermotorcycle.com. I would be interested to find out more about the person / people who painstakingly put this website together in the first place, and wonder if a group of like minded speedway bike enthusiasts could continue to update and expand this impressive history of the technical side of the sport. The Workshop Website: http://www.cybermotorcycle.com/archives/speedwaybikes/workshop.htm I have also enquired about this website in a post on my blog. http://keep-turning-left.blogspot.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was looking for any information on an engine made in New Zealand called a Denco engine and 'googled' it and the website came up. And there was even a picture of the engine in question! Fantastic stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sotonian 610 Posted May 27, 2010 Chris Byles was responsible for that site. My own bike is featured on it although the picture no longer displays. Sorry, but I do not have any contact details for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nigel 38 Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) Chris Byles was responsible for that site. My own bike is featured on it although the picture no longer displays. Sorry, but I do not have any contact details for him. Chris Byles is/was an Exeter fan. the Original "workshop" bigger than the archived version was at one time part of an "Exeter Speedway History" website Nigel PS, If you google Chris Byles you can find out more ?
