KevH 257 Posted June 12, 2004 have you any memories of Graham riding for Canterbury. Yes I do, Graham was one of those riders who could have done with some good sponsorship to allow him to invest in better machinery. He was a talented rider but lack of power and reliability from his bikes cost him points, which cost him money etc. A good team man though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,362 Posted June 20, 2004 I've just seen a quite unbelievable incident on video from Canterbury v Milton Keynes in 1987. Does anyone remember it? A part of the tape was hanging down and so, during the race, the flag marshall actually stood on the track and held it up. He nearly got hit by the riders as they came round and MK's Troy Butler, who was in the lead, pulled up whilst the others carried on. Amazingly, the result of the race stood!

Bryn 413 Posted June 22, 2004 (edited) One of my abiding memories of matches at Canterbury was the near-suicidal dash from Kingsmead to the Kempton Manor Hotel near Hothfield my ex-missus and I used to make after meetings. To explain, I was the DJ at the hotel which was situated on the A20 at Hothfield near Ashford and 'performed' there every Saturday night. That was after the paying punters enjoyed a carvery meal in the restaurant. I'd managed to work out that we just about had time to see the match at Kingsmead before making the dash to the hotel to arrive more or less at the time everyone had finished their meals. We used to park our trusty Morris Oxford in the swimming pool car park opposite the stadium and literally run to it immediately after the last race for a "Le Mans type" getaway! Now my ex-wife always had aspirations of following in the footsteps of various Grand Prix drivers and, believe me the way she drove along the Canterbury to Charing Road (which was not the best I've got to say!) certainly wasn't for the faint hearted! Nor were my efforts to execute a complete change of clothing in the front seat of the car whilst she slung the old Morris Oxford around the many bends at breakneck speeds! Happy days indeed!

shazzybird 10 Posted June 22, 2004 Love to read through this thread and still think the best is Honey phoning from across the road at Sainsburys (weather pouring hard!) asking what the weather was like in Canterbury only for JH to tell him they hadn't had a drop of rain all day!!
