racers and royals

As I have got older I have started reminiscing a lot more- probably because I can`t remember what happened 10 minutes ago . It set me thinking that lots of us supporters would love to know how a lot of ex- riders are doing these days. I know Rob Peasley (Lucifer Sam) tracks down and interviews some for Backtrack magazine. I don`t go on social media- so maybe some ex-riders are active on there ? I would like to start the ball rolling by asking about a couple of real characters I got to know fairly well.- Tommy Palmer and Dave Steen. Steeny had a most successful testimonial meeting - anyone remember "Bike Mania" seemed to go on for a day and a half Tommy one day- allegedly got flashed by a speed camera on the A1 - stopped the van, got some Methanol and set fire to the camera !!!! Please add to the list and any sleuth`s out there with any information to whereabouts will be gratefully received.

At least we don`t get "tailed off at the back " every race now !!!!

Obviously being a big Abba fan I liked the Abba story museum- and the Vasa museum is excellent. I`m going again in 3 weeks and again in Feb 2017 for a birthday celebration. We did a city bus hop on hop off tour as well and a trip on the water.
