Ron does frequent the Scooterotica site from time to time under the title of OAP. He is a very approachable chap

I had a silver/red indian one in 1981 W reg
200cc 30 mill delorto had various modified boxes that were being developed by them at the time.
Extremely loud but the mounting studs always failed due to vibration. They would fit it to my Scooter for trial.

Some may say royspeed is still alive and kicking

That's interesting, I bought a red/silver one brand new. w reg. had it about 6 months and it was a pain so sold it back to them

where did you live at the time I can remember where it came from

My White Royspeed Gp200, FLB25J, was ex John Bevan. It had a VHB30ml carb (square body). Royspeed big Bore (his own take on the 50ml Clubman), stage 3 barrell, and 12v points stator with battery. The panels were sign written "Royspeed" in Black lettering with Orange shadow.
Really a Royspeed was whatever you asked for at the time but generally very basic tweaks.

The shop that used to be in Hornchurch was a few hundred yards from the Companions Scooter Club. The members all used to frequent Roy's of Hornchurch and tune their bikes with Roy's products. There are several old members of the Companions on this forum that keep in touch. Their details were listed but lost went we had the crash on this site. Keith at Kegra Racing ( Southend ) bought much of Roy's stock when he closed down. Hope this helps a bit.

Sad news, Pete Smith of the Companions passed away in hospital yesterday (Thursday). Pauline his wife is still going strong, she was the club treasurer for some time.

I was in Beverley. east yorks at the time. It had a stage 4 tune, 30mm dellorto, AF reverse cone pipe and a red 's' type sneterton seat as roys of hornchurch didn't have any snets in stock at the time

Thats the place yep I bought it secondhand from Enterprise in Hornchurch part ex my Vespa 50 Special.
Averaged a piston a month while in my possession sold it for £100.00

I bought my Vega from them, in 1970 I think. Took it home in my mini van as it was bloody freezing....
