has anyone invited Wally?

i find it embarrassing to tell them i don't believe you saw me get further than 30 yards i had to chuckle when i phoned into North Norfolk Radio a couple of weeks back when Mike Bennett was presenting the show ... he gave me a real big build-up as someone that was always entertaining and always gave 110% ... he also said i'd had a few scrapes with safety fences. the reason for this was all about winning .. i wanted to win .. what was the point in coming second, that's just first loser. i sat on the bike not wanting to be beaten by anyone ... we can all dream. i rode against the likes of Chris Louis, Leigh Adams and loads of other quality riders and was lucky enough to ride in the same teams as Steve Regeling, Richard Green, Dave Mullett, Mike Spink, Moggo etc etc most of all, looking back now, i had a fantastic time whether i averaged 0.00 or 10.00, and i made a lot of friends all over the place.

also contacted Mike Bennett a couple of weeks ago as he was centre green announcer at Canterbury for the last season or two and was a lot of fun, but unfortunately he is working next weekend.

add Steve Gibson to the list

sorry ... exaggeration was always my strongest point

1986 0.00 1987 0.00 1988 0.00 1989 0.01 1990 -2 1991 -3

have contacted Gavin this morning via email to accept his invitation.

i have

need to get hold of Ian Cox i think ...

not yet Mike, but now Sarah (shooting star) has sorted some things out i certainly will be confirming. so will your old man be there?

would that be Neil??

unfortunately it is a problem with the younger generation ... bringing up dyspraxia doesn't make any difference here as there are kids out there with no problems whatsoever dat post with dis and dat all da time. THAT is the point i am making. and i'm quite happy to take the mick out of anyone. i get it, and i give it back.

deh do dat do don't deh

everyone is born right handed ... only the greatest overcome it

there was someone else and i think they had the surname of Beaton ... not sure if it was Bobby or not. if i remember rightly i'm sure he rode for a Northern club. Glasgow and Hull are in my mind which is why i thought it could be Bobby Beaton for Hull

if it was in EL racing it would certainly make it interesting.

a different one back then Alan, but looking exactly the same yes white, all white

i have looked through my pictures and this is the only one i can find that has Roland in ... it's at a Hackney training morning in 1988 and i am about 90% sure number 24 is Roland. number 29 is Ian Cox and number 21 is me

only if he finds a bloody good tailor and plenty more material

earlier on you said he looks like a porn star ... it was nearly 30 years ago

i used to love going to White City ... always one of my favourite tracks to visit for Overseas and Inter Continental meetings as well as some Rebels matches. got quite a bit of video still of some of the big meetings held there. i have a picture showing a bit of the stadium in the background ... the picture is of my dad and Ivan Mauger on the day Ivan got his MBE at Buck House ... i have a feeling Ivan was riding there that night because i have another picture somewhere of him in his top hat and tail with his bikes there. picture can be seen here Ivan wrote that note at the bottom of the print too

just had a listen ... memories of getting the day off school to go to the Royal Tournament at Earls Court every year

Oh but he did in fact Ivan was still around when the GP was on <{POST_SNAPBACK}> oh well, my info was from 'the horses mouth' as it were

better ask CHK ... the thread was left alone for 2 weeks

just pointing out that the answer was already known (as stated) so why ask on here?
