Built in 1960 by Bill Bragg, “Yellow Peril” was run as both a sidecar and a solo in sprint
events around the country.
Brill Bragg is credited with being the first to make purpose-built sprint frames, to produce
light weight specials, with competitors using stripped down road or circuit race machinery
The 650cc Triumph engine runs on Methanol fuel and ran best times of 13.39 seconds solo,
and 13.90 seconds with a sidecar, for the quarter mile. A regular winner, Bragg set World
records for the 50cc sidecar class in 1965, running 147 mph in the process.
The bike was found, along with its stable mates “Blue Peril” and “Scarlet Peril” in a
collapsed garden shed in Kingston-on-Thames in 2000, where they had been since 1966
when Bill Bragg retired from the sport.
Yellow Peril was restored at Maitland Racing between March and June 2005, featured in
Classic Bike Magazine, and run for the first time on July 10th 2005 at the North Weald
Classic Festival, with Norman Hyde on board.
This was the first time that the bike had run in competition for 39 years.

Mike's bike is the best example of a bucket racer. Yamaha FXR 250 chassis, Honda MB100 engine and painted Kawazaki green! What a mongrel! You should hear this thing when it comes on the pipe, sounds great!
