Dear All,
Indded, i dont know the person,
but i found the pictures on Paul Norman's website, and the caption says is Ian Alexander's bike:

here the quote:
Ian Alexander's very purposeful looking Black Lightning, as I remember a very fast bike.
All is not always what it seems though. .


. . . As this timing side shot reveals. Ian (and his father Don) had very cleverly grafted on a Comet gearbox to a chopped engine. Very nicely done.
Ian and Don gave me much advice in the early days.

Hello Spqreddie, My bike is on that web site, No 62, had a good look at that photo, Then I saw the foot rest looked wrong, It was after I got thrown over the top at Mallory Park !! Cheers Bill.
