After the demise of BSA in 1972, Cheney joined with former BSA factory rider John Banks to develop and ride successful BSA powered motocross bikes. His company was originally known as Eric Cheney Designs, then changed to Inter-Moto and is now known as Cheney Racing. Eric handed on his ideas to his son Simon Cheney, who is also an experienced competition rider. Each of the hand built motorcycles takes over 400 man hours to complete.[3] Cheney ISDT TeamIn the late 1960s the British motorcycle industry was unable to support a national ISDT team so Eric Cheney hand built a limited number of ISDT Cheney-Triumphs, using his own design of twin down-tube frame with a specially tuned Triumph 5TA engine. Fitted with tapered conical hubs, special motocross forks and large alloy fuel tanks, a Cheney Triumph was first used in the 1968 British Trophy Team.[4] In 1970 and 1971 three 504cc Cheney Triumphs were used by the British team in the International Six Days Trial (ISDT).[5] Replicas were built, but production was short-lived due to a shortage of engines Model rangeAlthough each Cheney motorcycle is different, many are based on the BSA C15 250 cc engine or the larger 500 cc unit version. The company also manufacture black powder-coated frame kits for BSA C15, B25, B40, B44 and B50 engines, as well as nickel-plated frame kits for Triumph 500 cc or 350 cc unit engines.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cheneyracing.co.uk/history.asp|title=Cheney Racing History|accessdate=3 October 2010|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100915040457/http://www.cheneyracing.co.uk/history.asp|archivedate=15 September 2010|df=dmy-all}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/news/2002/jan/10/guardianobituaries|title=Eric Cheney Obituary|last=Melling|first=Frank|date=1 January 2002|work=The Guardian|accessdate=19 September 2010}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.cheneyracing.co.uk/|title=Cheney Racing|accessdate=3 October 2010|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110426200845/http://www.cheneyracing.co.uk/|archivedate=26 April 2011|df=dmy-all}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/wspd_cgi.sh/WService=wslive_pub/pubweb/publicSite.r?sContinent=USA&MJ=3ea1957089632c0194d57e4b22fdc308&screen=lotdetailsNoFlash&iSaleItemNo=4587770&iSaleNo=18346&iSaleSectionNo=2 |title=British Trophy Team |accessdate=3 October 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120308212339/http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/wspd_cgi.sh/WService%3Dwslive_pub/pubweb/publicSite.r?sContinent=USA&MJ=3ea1957089632c0194d57e4b22fdc308&screen=lotdetailsNoFlash&iSaleItemNo=4587770&iSaleNo=18346&iSaleSectionNo=2 |archivedate=8 March 2012 |df=dmy-all }} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/wiki/Cheney|title=Cheney|work=Graces Guide|accessdate=3 October 2010}} External links
