rmaction 0 Posted March 10, 2005 Hej Rick! Saw you a couple of times in Sweden then you raced for Örnarna. Remember reading somewhere then you left Örnarna what you had a speak in swedish. Remember that? Got any memories of Sweden? Take care! Mikael Johnsson Eskilstuna Sweden Hej Mikael, I loved racing in Sweden. Riding for Ornarna and travelling around Sweden with Kelvin were some of the best of my time racing in Europe. The tracks are all first class, safe and great bunch of people enjoying the speedway. As you can see, I can't say enough good things about Swedish speedway. Also, I do remember the last championship celebration for winning the Swedish league with help from Lars Hammarberg I learned my speech in swedish and had everyone laughing, very nice experience.

tarabanko 5 Posted March 10, 2005 Thanks Rick for the quick answer. Yeah those memories are great to remember. Must ask you: Are you regretting something about your speedwaycareer? Are there things you could have done better..? What was the best with speedway? Whats was the worse? Take Care Mikael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apart from recalling his days with the Bees and memories of his British League days, Rick has also emailed us recent pics of himself working as a stuntman and one of him at home with his wife and two children.

Ross 0 Posted April 1, 2005 When`s it out?? should be a good read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ross 0 Posted April 2, 2005 Hiya Rick, I`m trying to get a copy of that magazine that you have done an interview for, are they sending you a copy out? Bees have struggled so far this season but beat Poole last night so hope thats the start of things to come. Did you hear about Billy Hamill`s crash ? Poor guy, he`s such a great rider and i really wanted him back at the bees this season. one last thing before i go, who`d have thought that Hans Nielsen would have been a bees rider after all the battles we had with oxford, and also riding alongside Jacob Olsen after all past problems with Ole. Hope to hear from you soon Ross Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
