I seem to remember him knocking Kai Neimi out with one punch, at Eastbourne I think it was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He flew over from his base in Sydney and gave us some entertaining rides on a borrowed bike before the engine expired! On good machinery he could have been in the top 3!!! He was also friendly to all the fans! I had a few conversations with him as he stayed in Quinns Rocks with Paul Pinfold, ex sidecar grasstracker! They found a bike in a shed, rebuilt it the night before the meeting, staying up till 3 a.m. and still Mitch rode well the next day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bellers101 347 Posted September 27, 2007 Got my copy today and as per usual 10 out of 10!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work. Got to say that can we have John Berry in charge of British Speedway as an independent body. His comments really made sense and I'm sure with his input we may be able to increase the profile of the sport. Wishfull thinking on my part no doubt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
