KIWIPIRATE 0 Posted May 9, 2003 In days past, many riders were known to sport a distinctive neckerchief – perhaps an affectation, or to stop an influx of shale down the inside of leathers that weren’t quite made to measure… Ronnie Moore, of course Barry Briggs – the classic red and white polka dot model ISTR Ivan Mauger – a black/white check thing, during his Newcastle days anyway Bert Harkins – a tartan job, of course Colin Gooddy – another red & white man Sverre Harrfeldt Christer Lofqvist Scott Autrey – for that dreamy cowboy look…. Any others, past or present? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norbold 7,109 Posted May 9, 2003 Aub Lawson. He had a chequered neckerchief which used to stream out behind him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
False dawn 2,298 Posted May 9, 2003 Neil Collins is the only one I know who has always worn one and is still riding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted May 9, 2003 Charlie Barsby, but this was so long ago I don't suppose anyone even remembers him. :-( Ah! Memories of my teenage years and him being my favourite rider and all that. Local lad made good in the Leicester Hunters team, blond, handsome. Gosh I must keep calm as I have got to go and have my blood pressure tested in a couple of hours.....

whowasthatberntpersson 108 Posted May 11, 2003 The late Chris Pusey wore one. Of course Neil Collins carries on the tradition. I've also got a great shot of Ole Olsen wearing one during his Wolverhampton days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Custom House Kid 45 Posted May 16, 2003 I asked Ove once why he only used a scarf whilst everyone else used face masks and scarfs. He said,"To be honest I did not expect to get that much dirt thrown at me". Thats brilliant he must have been quick out of the gate from 20yds back or perhaps he kept a safe distance !

I was only revived from cryo-suspended animation two weeks ago. Is Aub Lawson still the World Champion? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
