SE Racing GOLD..... pic heavy.. now more pics added..

[kungfunky]

Ok so as most know I like the odd bit of SE stuff, not just the bikes but everything else that goes with it and have a couple of decent contacts / friend state side who help me out with some of the rare and cool stuff    For me this hoby goes way deeper than just building a couple of bikes every now and then but it's the history, the research and the memorabillia that makes it cool for me.

Anyway I have a few SE Racing bits that have previously been unseen by folk on here, it's not the sort of thing I'd ever take to MK for risk of damage or drunken missplacement   so the only other thing to do is share some of it on here and hope you enjoy it  

1st up is a real gem and mega rare piece of SE's history because without it there would be no SE. This original document is the actual buisness proposal sent out to potential investors from Scot in 1977 to help him start SE Racing.
 This 20+ page proposal was sent to Oakley founder Jim Jannard  




It's fantastic reading and theres far too many pages to upload but you get the idea.





How about an original SE Hot Shop price list from 81. yes those prices  



Moving on. On the left you have an original "Factory Boys race day check list"   and on the right the 10 page Hot Shop proposal given to shop's and riders looking to be sponsored.



How about the original concept drawing's designed in 79 for the new team race gear ?..



And finally some pretty cool flyers  




Like I say this is only a small fraction of what I have and maybe I'll post some more cool stuff up at some point, but for now enjoy

BMX History, right there, fella! 

[crazycraig]

Gold is right !

For me SE oozes old school for me more than any of the brands . I think it's down to the colour schemes . The camo's the browns blues and golds

Love my se bikes

Good score . Proper history right there

[ThisBitterPill]

History indeed!

I might be being a dope here, but in the bike list there is a PK Ripper and a Ripper listed....

What's the difference between them (apart from 0.5lbs!)

 

[kungfunky]

Glad you like it, the proposal is just insane I was reading some of it last night and the content is fantastic  

You should see what else I robbed from Scots pad  

Totally agree with you Craig, SE was always ahead of the pack when it came to the racers, kit, bikes and generally having a great time. Would have loved to hang out on the team bus

The Ripper started out in 1978 as the BD-III (Breithaupt Developments 3rd phase) the 3rd mini frame Scot designed, then in 79 it was re named the DB IV ( after team rider Derek Brown) then in 80 serial numbers were introduced and named the 'Ripper' and then onto the Mini Ripper

Matt I was thinking about bringing a whole heap of my unseen SE goodness to MK this year but seeing as I'll be doubtful to make it,  it looks like it'll be locked away for another year. I do have a very nice display at my work though

Now this is real history
