Sir Jasper

good gp though!

no you are correct he did not fence Bjarni the only reason being is because he came under him so hard he took the bike and and he hit the floor!

gollob has got to be decent at 5's! my other one would have been rickardsson

I dont neccessarily agree with the standardisation of engines in the top flights. A way to reduce costs for newer riders is to design a league with standardised equipment ie get a cheap engine deal for all conference riders , much like the formulas on the way up to f1, this then ensures all equipment is the same etc etc like formula 3 or formula BMW.

thanks tmc

is that edition out now and can i get it from Brandon?

ah very similar to me then.

ross a question to you how old are you and when did you bstart following the bees and stalking rick (joke)

Just looked at the polish side, would'nt it be fantastic if riders onl rode for one team? then we could have european cups and the like!!! but I suppose there are just not enough riders!

clive surely knudsen would be in your danish team?

good question sandman!!!!!

unlucky dave

yep i am surprised him and JJ never had a slugfest with the amount of times they cut each other up!

I think dave is offering to pay Rick!!

it is all very well having these training tracks however what happens once you leave them, you perhaps find a place in a team and then could be left alone to fight your own battles. I think the BSPA and teams should look at some sort of training programme an apprenticeship if you like and it could include such stuff as basic mechanics, and even accountancy so they can look after their own money! I was shocked to read an interview from a bees rider last year, I can not remember who it was but he was saying that he had just returned from atraining camp run by his swedish or polish team. Why dont English clubs do this sort of thing??

Hi Rick what would you say was your best ever ride, best ever meeting and best ever season?

and then i suppose it gets easier to get the work the more you do!!! much like life!!

I can not quite remember, it was at one your functions so it may have been in your testimonial year, i shall try and get a photo of it up here for you it wmay jog your memory.

Kelvin was excellent for the bees! His british final wins were excellent and it seemed all the better because it seemed nobody else liked him apart from his own track fans!!! Oh and he does an excellent job on Sky much better than anybody else!!

How did you become a stunt man Rick?

Who would have thought that I have seen Tick so many times in those films and not known it!!

i have a signed american bodycolour of Ricks that i won in a raffle!! It seems to have a tyre mark on the back, Rick do you remember what happened to it?

no i was not rick as i was a little too young!!!

As a Bradford fan in the late 80's I have some memories of 3rd heat leaders/second strings who used to love the track repeatedly turning up and stuffing us!!! Don't think anybody will top the days or Riss and Castagna doing it for Ipswich but Rick seemed to like the place. yep rick did go well around there and had it not been for an Ef (I think or it may have been an exclusion) he could well have been on the rostrum in the 1990 WF held there.

anyone remember when Andy Hackett beat Gundersen?? bought the house down!!
