Ron Butler 0 Posted September 22, 2009 Karl Denver was a Scotsman i believe. His real name being Angus Murdo McKenzie that's only to be expected, Topcat Seriously, he was neighbour of mine when he was a rider so I spoke to him on a number of occasions - without the aid of an interpreter though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwoMinuteWarning 69 Posted September 22, 2009 Norbold, I am here never fear and perusing these posts with interest!!BTW does anyone recall Karl Denver the singer(Wimoweh etc etc) etc etc??? You mean he had more than ONE hit? And there's me thinking that his Greatest Hits album contained 14 versions of Wimoweh (the original, instrumental, re-mix, extended re-mix, backwards, etc) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

speedyguy 20 Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) Flesh coloured anything reminds me of Putt Mossman above anything else What a great character Putt Mossman was. Besides being a speedway rider - of some repute, he also took part in road racing, midget car racing and of course for many years ran his renowned motorcycle stunt team.
