jrs 3,290 Posted November 13, 2013 That's sad news, I remember Nick well, always immaculately turned out and a handy rider too. Thoughts are with Nick's family and friends, RIP Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Templeton 43 Posted November 17, 2013 I remember taking a photo of his immaculate JAP in the pits at Knowle Stadium in Bristol in 1960. I'm sorry to hear of his passing, but this has reminded me of him. I cannot think who he may have been riding for, but I presume as a guest for someone, in Bristol's only year in the Provincial League. I've briefly looked at the Provincial League team line-ups for 1960 season (with guests), and can see no reference to his appearance. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
