Where Are You Now? Black Knight vrm: SCR 312

[Jonathan Lambley]

This photo was taken at the 1972 Bass Lake Rally in the USA
Can anyone identify the guy stood next to the Black Knight SCR 312 or tell me who owned it then or since?
The last owner to notify the VOC was a G Little in 1968, in the UK
Thanks

I’ll run this photo by Bill Easter, he may recognize the person.

From John Ulver, apparently its Ted Thieman.

John was pulled in to the conversation Bill and I were having. Ted is still a member of our section, but I don’t have an email address for him. I am checking to see if Bill has a phone number. I would like to speak with Ted directly to verify, and also ask Ted who he sold the bike to.

That would be great and I could update the VOC machine database. We have a lot of gaps for bikes in America as very few updated the VOC with their bikes details.

Spoke with Ted, he did own a Black Knight back then, but he does not recall the SCR 312 reg. He bought the Knight from another SoCal section member named Norm Ables. Norm passed away years ago, but his widow is still in contact with the section. Ted sold the Knight to someone in the San Francisco area, but Ted does not recall a name.

Thanks for that, maybe if he saw the photo it would help or maybe Norm's wife might know more.
Thanks

Jon,
It went to Rich Stevenson in Oakland, CA. where it morphed into a Prince. You might try Dave Malloy to see if he has anymore up to date info on the bike or Rich..
