It was built for Mick about eight years ago to use in Spanish events and instead of the more familiar green colour, is finished with a red band on the tank rather like his 1970 bike. This was something that Hampshire dealer Bob Gollner addressed when he collaborated with frame builder Mick Whitlock on their replacement frame kit for the OSSA – it had a longer swinging arm.Īnyway, back to the smart machine in these pics. Note the extra holes here and there is nothing more lightweight than a hole. Suggestions that for the Scottish a slightly longer swinging arm specifically for Scotland were dismissed so Mick did the best he could and made sure the rear wheel was as far back in the wheel slots as it could go which helped but wasn’t ideal. One area was an SSDT specific, says Mick: “OSSA had a pretty short wheelbase for the time and while fine for normal trials, actually an advantage really, for the Scottish and the longer sections such as Laggan Locks the wheelbase was too short.” Having had several chats with Mick as to what his works OSSAs were actually like, he highlighted a few areas where he personally wanted to make mods. Yes, the team rider would be excused some differences between what he was on and what could be bought as after all he would be testing ideas for next year’s models but generally speaking the factory wanted to be seen winning with what they were selling now. It is the nature of us club riders to assume a factory bike is the be-all and end-all of brilliance but this isn’t always the case.įirstly the factory rider has to be seen to be riding what was on the showroom floor. However, unfettered by the need to be seen on a standard product though still with a soft spot for OSSA, Mick was involved in a build which allowed a few tweaks which would probably have been refused by the factory.

Those wins – 1970, 19 – were made with factory bikes, albeit ones designed by Mick, and would lead to the MAR – Mick Andrews Replica – which pretty much was what Mick would be riding. Mick Andrews’ record with OSSA motorcycles is an excellent one and as well as European championships the Derbyshire ace notched up three consecutive SSDT wins to prove the motorcycle was good enough.
