STOLEN CUB/BANTAM SPARES

This is a copy of a post from the Cub Forum - if anyone can help, contact Alan directly, his number is below.

**Stolen Goods**
Alan Whitton has had his van stolen a white Transit connect LWB reg NC 56 KKN. Inside was his Bantam rolling chassis that he had on his stand at Telford show along with some Triumph Tiger Cub heads and various parts.

If anyone has any pictures of the Bantam frame from Telford show could they please contact Alan on 01246 419805

Obviously if you know of anybody offering any cub parts or a Bantam frame for sale please let Alan know. The frame is very trick and easily identifiable as are the wheels that have Alan's own billet alloy hubs, anodised gun metal with scalloped spoke flanges along with Alans own modified forks and Billet alloy yokes etc. The cub heads have been blasted and look like new.

Hiya! Just thought I'd let you know my mag got here yesterday... BRILLIANT as ever!
.
I'd love to write something for it but I have no idea what...
.
I also hope I win the lottery here so I can come over to the cub camp! Instead I'll live vicariously through your mag and cry into a mug of PG Tips...
.
Cheers and keep up the fantastic work.

Hi GBC
Thank you for the latest copy of The Cub Mag.  I'm enjoying it, very informative.
.
I didn't want to tear off the back page of my mag, so will include relevant information in this letter.
.
My 1965 T20 is used regularly during the year, about 1500 miles.  Have a problem with disappearing gear box oil - no visible oil leak!?  Hope to fix it this year though.

CUB & TERRIER ONLY SHOW

The CUB MAG Cub & Terrier Online Show for ALL MODELS OF TRIUMPH TIGER CUB & TERRIERS ONLY.

Classes

1. Best Concours Cub or Terrier ~ Head Judge Mike Estall, author of the famous Tiger Cub Bible. 

2. Best Non-Standard Cub or Terrier ~ Head Judge Rowena from www.realclassic.co.uk

3. Best Restoration Project Cub or Terrier ~ Judged by Greystone Enterprises. 

4. Best 'Get You Home / Quick Fix' on a Cub or Terrier ~ Head Judge Brett Baxter of B&B Engineering. 

5. Best Trials Cub or Terrier ~ Head Judge Alan Whitton of Alan Whitton Race Engineering. 

1. Concours Class Rules

All competitors should send three main colour photos showing left side, right side and one from the rider's perspective showing the handlebars and controls and the top of the nacelle or headlight. The bikes must virtually fill the photo frame - no photos from fifty yards away, please! Please also include pics of engine, frame and registration numbers so that the Judge knows exactly what the bike is supposed to be. Non-matching frame and engine numbers will be acceptable so long as the engine is of the same type as the frame and cycle parts. (No square-barrelled engines in plunger frames, for example). Don't forget, this is a class for 'Catalogue spec' machines only. If you have a 'Special/Non-standard' Cub / Terrier please enter Class 2.

2. Best Non-Standard Cub (must be road legal).

This class is for all you guys and girls who have an ordinary every day Cub or Terrier, one that you haven’t had to restore (or maybe you restored it so long ago that you’ve lost all the photos and can’t remember a thing about what you did), but it’s a ready built bike that you just get on and ride.  All competitors should send a minimum of three colour photos showing left side, right side, and one from the rider's perspective showing the handlebars and controls and the top of the nacelle or headlight. The bikes must virtually fill the photo frame.  If you’ve made any mods to the bike please include details (plus a pic) of why and how it improves the bike.  If you have completed an outstanding road trip on the bike, send details of this too.

3. Restoration Class Rules

This is a class to cater for those who started with a pile of rusty parts and have built a complete bike from it, or perhaps you started with a complete bike but it needed to be stripped down and fully rebuilt, and what you have ended up with is a nice, usable Cub or Terrier that simply glows with pride, showing off the work that you, the owner, put into restoring it to its former glory.  Either way, your bike is eligible for this class, so send in some photos of your handiwork, showing before, during and after shots, and any close ups you feel that emphasise particular skills or DIY work that you’re proud of.  Please note, this is not a class for those who commissioned a professional full restoration.  It is ok to have outsourced jobs you can’t do at home, but you must have completed the majority of work yourself.

4. Get You Home Class Rules

If you’ve ever had to facilitate a quick repair by the roadside, then this is the class for you.  There is no time frame in which the fix must have been carried out, but it must be your own handiwork (not a professional mechanic or garage) and if possible, photographic proof should be supplied.  Given that the 'fix' might have been carried out donkeys years ago though, we appreciate a photo might not be possible, in which case a full description of the fix should be sent in.  If you do have photos, please submit up to three, focussing on the 'fix', rather than the whole bike.  A short description of how, why, where, who and when the ‘fix’ was carried out should accompany your entry.

5. Trials Class Rules

All competitors should send three main colour photos showing the left side, right side, and one from the rider's perspective showing the handlebars and controls.  Extra photos of mods that help in your pursuit to climb sheer rock faces and jump off bridges are acceptable, and please supply full written details of these modifications.  Please state whether you built the bike yourself or bought it 'as is', and whether you compete or just ‘have fun’ off road.

6. Best Sports/Racing/Other Competition Cub or Terrier Rules ~ Not necessarily just for 'Sports' Cubs but a class for all types of Cubs & Terriers that are intended for anything other than trials or simple road riding.  Could be racing, scrambling, grass tracking etc...  All competitors should send three main colour photos showing the left side, right side, and one from the rider's perspective showing the handlebars and controls. Extra photos of mods that help in your pursuit of glory are acceptable, and please supply full written details of these modifications. Please state whether you built the bike yourself or bought it 'as is', and whether you compete or just ‘have fun’ in parade laps etc.

Extras -

The CUB MAG Cub & Terrier Online Show is open to all – both subscribers and non-subscribers of The Cub Mag, providing you own a Cub or Terrier.  You may enter  your bike in any or all of the classes for which is it eligible.  Please clearly specify the Class on your email, and if entering more than one Class, please do so via separate emails.  The CUB MAG Cub & Terrier Online Show relies on the honesty of the entrants.  Please do not pass other peoples work off as your own, and if, for example, you had to have certain jobs done by others during your restoration, please just state this in your entry details.  For Class 2, we accept your word that the bike is road legal and ridden at least once a year on the public roads.  For all classes please include details of year, model and how long you have owned the bike.  

There will be a main prize (announced later) for each class, plus a runners up prize of a coveted Cub Mag tee shirt or mug.

The Judges & Organisers (The Cub Mag Team) decisions are of course, final, so don’t bother even trying to argue with Edward ‘Turner’ Bear.

All entries should be sent to gbc@thecubmag.com and total email size should be less than 5MB so please resize pics or send separately. 

CLOSING DATE FOR ALL ENTRIES – 13^th March 2013.
