customhouseregular 1,651 Posted May 28, 2015 Interesting choice WK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The White Knight 9,039 Posted May 28, 2015 Â Interesting choice WK. A great Rider to watch CHR. He had a very relaxed style, looked like he was riding an armchair at times. He was nicknamed 'The White Knight' because of his white leathers. Â The reason I have it as my Username on this Forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
customhouseregular 1,651 Posted May 28, 2015 Aah!...all becomes clear Oh Wise One. I do remember seeing him ride but, shame on me, I can't remember anything about him. Â You would think I'd remember the leathers though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually he is a smashing bloke as well.  http://www.defunctspeedway.co.uk/Canterbury.htm  Just scroll down - Team Photo - Graeme is in the white leathers on the Bike.

Andy Wilko 5 Posted May 28, 2015 The rider would have to be one of the best - and a showman - so Barry Briggs. Â However another Barry would be needed to make it a success - Barry Hearn. Â It's worked with other unfashionable sports - darts (BH & Phil Taylor) and snooker (BH & Ronnie O'Sullivan), oh for the coverage they get.. Â Some will scoff at these two sports but many more scoff at speedway at present - including many "fans" on this forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
customhouseregular 1,651 Posted May 28, 2015 I'm not too sure about Barry Hearn but British speedway sure needs a visionary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BANANAMAN 330 Posted May 28, 2015 I had never seen anything like Gary Guglielmi , excitement or what !! First two races demolish the fence & a fall then 4 wins !! Barracudas or Bees .. Looked like a novice reserve then become a Heat leader !! .. Worth every penny of an entrance fee ... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
