Talk:Slippery Sam

Photos needed

This article desperately needs a photo or two of the new bike. Any offers? Arrivisto (talk) 12:57, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have a photo of Slippery Sam taken at Motorcycle Live this year if that is of any use? WyrmUK (talk) 14:08, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Serious issues with this article

There appears to be three distinct bikes rolled into one article here; instead of Slippery Sam, a multiple TT winning road bike with careful preparation to engine and cycle parts, it has been corrupted with the original 1970 bol D'or bikes and short-circuit F750 and Daytona-style Rob North framed full-on racers.

I was largely 'off' bikes during this time {so I only have the 1971 Bol D'or bike - a Rob North Trident - in the house) but knew enough to recognise the errors, compounded by other editors and IP addresses; I am now no longer contributing prose to Wikipedia except in extreme circumstances (this I do not consider to be urgent, as it's largely obscure) but I will add to the 'to do' list. It needs the prototype section minimising and splitting-off (unless covered elsewhere on WP - I haven't checked). The links need careful attention, being wrongly pipe-linked to Superbike racing - again, I don't see any urgency here. I've left the Youtube VT of a F750 being started...largely irrelevant, though.

The race engineers, from memory, were Arthur Jakeman and Ron Barrett; a TT production class bike would never have been allowed to race with a modified frame and 83 84 bhp, requiring open exhausts from a base 58 bhp, but they had a strong presence in the F750 TT races.

I would advise circumspection and avoidance of low-grade web sites which I regard as 'calendar charts' only.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 11:33, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree with this. The article should just be about Slippery Sam - the F750 racers, which used a completely different frame, should really be in a separate article. WyrmUK (talk) 14:07, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
