Please no arguments guys on my behalf. I get one to you Steve at the WSRA dinner and we will send one to Moxey. If he PM's me with his details.

Very interesting though. Thanks for all taking part. I am so impressed with Erik I just did not realise how good he was.

 

We will work on the talk thing as it would be a good night if we could pull it off. Since I have moved I have lost Ivan's email Steve. Can you PM with it. Thanks.

Jim ...

Erik is certainly up there as a true great, fantastic rider and one that i class as having that 'x-factor' ... a rider that could look good but produce on the day when needed, that's why he was able to outsmart Nielsen for so long.

 

I'll pm you with Ivan's email later.

He's flying up to Edinburgh for the Scottish dinner with my parents end of February, and he has a few plans in between but what date are you looking at for a get together?

Despite his FIM medals I did not think much of Erik Gundersen. He was a good rider but give me Hans anytime. To me it's between Mauger and Nielsen who were the best ever.
