9.British teenagers – first generation with a culture of their own.
10.Backrest – who wants to be seen with their arms round their best mate?

[Chris TV175]

Yes yes yes- theres a few of us "fellow Monday nighters" at The Locarno, Bristol in the club already.

Wasn't that Don C record mid 1970's?

Nearly agree on SX200- its what the TV200 should have been from the start. Having said that I still believe the TV175S3 to be the best alrounder from Innocenti- really smooth and nearly as quick as the SX200 (and its got a chrome ring!!)

Would agree that the TV 175 was a good'un my clubmates bikes were not that much slower than my GT, The GT had this amazing " Thump " on tickover,and suffered severely from the exhaust tailpipe stripping out the back stud on the GT,oil seals went for a pastime. The SX solved the problem by lowering the compression by means of a thicker head gasket, 175 gear ratios and a bracket bolted to the crankcase to stop exhaust vibration.
I fitted a Wal Phillips fuel injector to my GT ,it went like the clappers but had poor fuel and tickover issues.
The TV 200 was only produced as demand by club members for more power
took over the fashion of the day. Arthur Francis,then in Watford ,High Street
took things to a new level,when he modified the Works scooters for LCGB by adding a 225cc Barrel and Piston, from I believe a Bultaco motorcycle.
