Triple.H. 1,996 Posted July 16, 2008 Heath rode for the Isle of Wight in 2002. Was this guy for real, or was it someone riding under a pseudonym? Did he have an unusual looking bike? could have got a warning then if i'd put unusual looking equipment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sir Lunchalot Posted July 16, 2008 Purely from memory if I`ve got the right one I think he was an Australian who was a cousin or some relative of one of the Qld riders ... Dave Watt maybe ? He hadn`t ridden much locally and not much was known about him out here either !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevH 257 Posted July 16, 2008 Thanks for the replies. So the mystery deepens, and I'd be interested to hear any more theories about this guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arnieg 3,712 Posted July 16, 2008 I recall seeing him at Mildenhall. A quick check in Mr Vasey's opus confirms that he rode two matches for Mildenhall in 2002. Robert Bamford's annual gives his dob as 10.7.79 and the place as Maitland, New Soutrh Wales Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But you've thrown up another qustion here.........if he rode in 2002, the Robert Bamford Annual would have been '2003', and I thought the first one was '2004'?

Guest Sir Lunchalot Posted July 17, 2008 Since found out Heath used to ride at Tamworth Motorcyle Club in Nth NSW in the late 1990's / early 2000's. Not sure if he was a Sth East Qld canetoad or a Nth NSW cockroach. Maybe an email to one of the contacts shown on http://tamworthmotorcycleclub.com/index.html might shed a bit more light on the mystery gentleman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First Tempus one was 2004 (covering 2003 season) but there was an A4 spiral bound annual covering 2002 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
