Paul 67 Posted July 21, 2003 Over the weekend a discussion took place at the 4tt at Mildenhall as to who was/is England best rider. My vote I think would be Peter Collins.However some of the older generation at Tonbridge yesterday tell me the other PC [Peter Craven] was the best. As I am to young to have seen Craven ride [must ask Sean he's bound to have seen him ride] it is a difficult one for me to answer. Other forum members, I'm sure will have a view!

fatface 2,525 Posted July 22, 2003 Aye we have. But talking of Peter Collins, I was sent some old videos from the 70s/80s the other day from a kindly soul. And my God, I'd almost forgotten how brilliant he was. One race I watched was from the 84 Long-Track. PC went absolutely storming after Egon Muller, caught him and they rode shoulder to shoulder for a full lap at full throttle. Then PC gave him the elbow and won the race. Superb stuff.
