  1. Wait to the fat lady, or should I say star lady sings on Saturday!
  2. Yep, but YOU stated he had NEVER ridden there! Deary deary me I do question your knowledge! kind Regards
  3. Would you know if they are opening the restaurant for this one ?
  4. NEVER ridden the track, you are wrong AGAIN! did you not go to the PCM ? kind remember ALL riders practicing
  5. Many a rider has opt to miss practice for GPs! Thought you would understand that being a X rider ? Would you have practiced at Poole where you have stated, won many races! cant wait to find out who you are, I'm excited, bet iv must have seen you at Poole elbow to elbow with Darcy!
  6. You know what Robert72, I've had a little skid on a speedway bike, but hell I was bad, no i'll rephrase that, I was embarrassingly s**t but i'm not afraid to admit it. I started off in school boy grass track, then in 75 lied about my age to get a ACU licence as I was 15 at the time to do grass track on a new 500 Antig JAP. Then went to Wolverhampton training school in the Winter of 1975, had a lot of help off Chris Harrison, have done a few od meetings for Stoke, Edinburgh & a few no 7 & 8 rides for Wolves. But what really gived me the s***s was seeing Juniors around me that had such poor equipment where as I had the very very best, but one thing I lacked was absolutely no ability! But i'm happy to admit it. I've PM you asking if you was the rob I knew at Cradley in the late 60s early 70s, but you did not have the decency to reply!
  7. And I also unfortunately witnessed Craig Featherby fatal accident, but I tend to try & block any of those memories. Regarding DW, yes iv been very fortunate to be graced & at times dazzled by his brilliance, when he made his come back in 2015 I watched EVERY meeting he rode in this country & one in Sweden. Yes I remember him for his good side, riding a speedway bike like not many can!!!
  8. I remember Gary Peterson the night he had his tragic accident in 75 at Wolverhampton. But what the hell as DW43 got to do with it ????
  9. To be honest I'm struggling with 5 British riders killed on track ??
  10. Regarding BWD having watched him many times last year at Eastbourne home and away and seeing how he has progressed this year, is quiet remarkable. As far as being a fan of BWD no not really, now take Paul Starke and Charles Wright a huge fan. With the confrontation with BWD at the start line he was unhappy before the start so why not sort the problem out before under starters orders? had he have won the race do you think he would have had the confrontation? IMO it showed a tad of immaturity
  11. For some unknown reason the jumped up Kiwi starts having a go at the start marshall
  12. Totally agree with you about BWD regarding the start line confrontation, anyone would think he was Ivan Mauger!!
  13. Wright has big engine issues for the last couple of months, cant get to the route of the problem but no lack of trying
  14. Believe me on this one, Aroundtheboards has watched Brady many many times. He would be able to give you as good account has any one regarding Brady!
  15. Totally agree with you, but I do honestly think he needed another year with Garry May
  16. I think Kurtz has gone backwards this year, the few times ive seen him he has been very poor. How many times have you watched Brady this year apart from Poole ?
  17. If I remember right, was he involved with the BSA bantam engines for the indoor meetings ?
  18. I remember Rob at Cradley Heath second halves in the early 70s. Very good engineer he was to
  19. Standard of racing at Poole is generally excellent ??? Must admit i'm very spoilt attending Somerset Sheffield & Zielona Gora regular
  20. Ur watch a meting at Poole ? granted only been 4 times this year!
  21. Shame you only got to see a few passes last night, mind you must be used to that watching Poole at home!
  22. Your comment on Kerr very interesting he has switched to GM, can you tell me if he his still on revolution chassis ?
