from what i remember of a few of them, Keith still attends the VSRA meetings with his father Vic,and still lives in the Leicester area, Barry now lives down in South Wales and gets along to the Cardiff GP each year. Sean Willmott emigrated to Australia back around 1998, Bo Petersen builds Riders Vans in the winter in Denmark and Caravans in the summer. Finn moved to Spain, Dave Kennett can be found supporting his son Edward when riding, Zenon Plech is still involved in the Polish National Set Up, Roman Jankowski was still riding in Poland last season, but i think retired at the end of it.

 

Paul T will be able to bring you up to date with any others.

Who was the Polish rider murdered then, I thought it was Jankowski?
