Dave Morton always seemed to get injured when he was about to hit the really big time. He would probably have reached a few World Finals if he had avoided the big injuries.
The Belle Vue team sponsored silver leathers (in 1977 I think) were pretty horrible.
They looked like astronauts PC and Mort changed back to their normal leathers VERY soon afterwards
My Backtrack arrived today (Tuesday) and is the best yet. Great interviews with Crumpie (senior) and Dag Lovaas and Ron Preston - simply the best read around form70s/80s fans nlike me
