customhouseregular 1,651 Posted March 15, 2015 It does to me CHR. I remember Broadbanks well - a great British Rider. I wish we had a few like him now. Gone are the days one could reel off a host of names...all of them British and all of them quality. Broadbank, Hunter, Wilson, Boocock etc. etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) I would like to read about the jockey turned speedway rider Ralph Horne, Belle Vue, Coventry, Sheffield, Wigan and Belfast. Or/and Red Hamley, Bradford and Wombwell. Their era was the late 1940s. EDIT: I have found this brief Link re Red Hamley - more information would be appreciated: http://www.speedwayatoz.co.uk/redhamley.html Indeed Jim Tebby. A very distinctive Rider for Wimbledon if my memory serves me correctly. :approve: With a mention about Jim Tebby's rider-father and mechanic Stan Tebby, who rode both speedway and grass track in the late 1940s to the early 1970s. I think Stan's bike is a showpiece item at the London Motorcycle Museum? In his time, Stan also acted as a spanner-man at various times for Ron How, Danny Dunton and Roy Bowers.

Guest Posted August 1, 2015 Thank you for that MR. :) Besides his speedway exploits, John Reason was also a keen follower of Coventry City FC and was a director. In racing, he was also a leading midget car driver circa 1951 and 1952. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
