Beezumph 12 beat all previous years,
and was a complete sell out !
B12 commemorated the 30th anniversary of the X75 Hurricane, and the TR3OC
was proud to welcome Craig Vetter, designer of the Hurricane, as the
Guest of Honour.

Friday evening Craig gave an illustrated talk on his work designing the Hurricane.
This ranged from his initial thoughts and plans, through his design contract with the BSA factory,
to the launch, finally, of the X75.
By now there was in the region of 300 people in the marquee, hanging on Craig's every word.
In a second unscheduled talk, Craig presented his work on the TT Bonneville, which included
working designs and drawings never seen before. Much of the styling that Craig suggested for the TT
found its way into the T160!
As a special tribute, Beezumph 12 incorporated Damian Searby's Annual Hurricane Meeting.
Nearly all of the X75s took to the track together in a never to be repeated Saturday
lunchtime session.
