Went to WC to see the Hull Lada Vikings ride a league match there in the afternoon
then onto Wimbledon for the Embassy International in the evening .
The Vikings won of course........remember Mitch Graham moved the signs on the centre green around to read.......WITE SCHITY BEREL....or something like that, it was a long time ago...........also seem to remember Hull won the Benidorm cup that day????????????????
Once stopped to pick Robbie Gardner up after his car broke down on M62...That night he arrived at Ellesmere Port in a removals lorry............
Also seem to remember Ken Le Breton.....THE WHITE GHOST....taking his bike in the sidecar of a motorbike
So sorry to hear about Alan's untimley death.
First met him whilst in the twilight of his career at Hull.
He was a real down to earth, done that , guy
My deepest sympathy goes to Alans family at this time.
R.I.P.
Hi S in E. I have also been following the tour via the web site.
If you get a chance to talk to Dave Chadburn, please tell him all the track staff at Hull wish him good luck. I have left messages of good luck at all arenas, but i dont know if he got them... Thanks.
During the 70s and 80s. Dick Sheppard's Disaster Squad travelled to lots of tracks performing car and motorbike stunts ........Has anyone got any idea if they are still performing ? I think they came from the Leicester area although i might be wrong.
If anyone knows let me know as i would like to get intouch with them .....TA!
Two reasons ...he was one hell of a good rider. and i had no idea what had happened, so i was more than a little shocked .....sorry if you think that's morbid
Gem.
