The Bindy (or Britain Is Not Dead Yet) was the creation of George Harris, who had been involved with racing Bantams for many years. In 1979 he built a small two-stroke with a 125cc engine from Aubrey Upton of Leicester. That engine had first been designed for kart racing under the Manx name. Harris created the machine by adding water-cooling to the engine and installing it in a Jack Machin frame. All the parts were British except for the brakes. It was competitive in Britain for a couple of seasons, when ridden by Roger Martin, Tony Jones, and Dick Hunter.
