Bobble hat has been washed? Isn't that like Samson cutting his hair ?? 230. N Thanks HG !

230. Yes I think it is 231. Yes/Yes/Yes 232. I've been trying to test you all along by finding that one picture that's just too hard but haven't managed it yet!!. I think said gentleman is second from left..............but I could be wrong. The only rider I'm able to positively identify here is the rider sat on the bike. I need some help from Owlerton devotees to jog the memory a little. 234. That's a top shout falcace. I actually (wrongly I now think) thought this was Paul Stead but having done a 'compare and contrast' with #232 I think you're right! Thanks falcace!

227. 228-229 Yes 230. N 231. Think so/wrong one/yes 232. Much to everyone's surprise...no ! 233. Mr Olsen it is 234. Don't think so 235-236 - Yes Thanks o Baron of the bobble hats!

219. N 220-222 Yes 223. 224. Me too 225-226. Yes Thanks HG !

207........with a British flag on the helmet ??. No this pic is of a true Owlerton icon..................and I don't mean Klaus Lohmann or Heinrich Sprenger 219-221. Yes 222. No. It's the King of Kings 223-226. Yes In Norden I was stood just past the second bend going into the straight. Funny, I don't remember seeing you there . Ah the memories. I was half expecting a Siggy win but Mr Muller was in a different world that day (or should that be on a different bike). Can't remember too much about the travel but Chequers travel sounds mighty familiar. I do remember we got a coach at the Owlerton car park, which I recall was picking us up en-route (maybe it had been to BV/The Shay before?). I couldn't remember which year the overseas final pics were from but you've solved that little mystery for me. Thanks falcace!

Ah, saddo minds think alike falcace, was it the helmet for you too? Indded WATigerman, what are we going to do when the pics run out when the pics run ut?? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm....................not got too many left but here's a few more to be going on with..........................

201. Yes/Yes 202. yes/I think y u're right 203. Yes 204. Sorry; it's not Bob Valentine, Douggie Wyer, Shawn Moran or Tony Forward - it's actually Chris Morton................ 205-206. Yes 207. No. A bit of artistic indulgence here to make this less obvious than it might otherwise be......... 208-213 Yes. 214. Thank you. 215. Yes 216. Yes/that's a top shout and I think you could well be right. 217. Yes/Yes 218. Yes Thanks for the kind comments falcace!

214. Interesting guess HG. I can see why you think it's Mitch Shirra - style not dissimilar to his. I actually have no idea who this is 218. Indeed; the legendary Mr Sanders Thanks HG! Its the helmet that does it for me, I seem to recall a similar odd shaped chin guard on his helmet around this time. How sad am I Best I say nothing.......................

Cold turkey.......we'll soon fix that oh Baron of the bobble hats.............. ......put my hand deep in my tucker bag and look what I found................

Cold turkey.......we'll soon fix that oh Baron of the bobble hats..............

Pretty sure it's Alan Mason. I'll do a 'compare and contrast' with other photos I've got to confirm. Thanks falcace!

....I can't be 100% sure on this one frigbo, but Mr Mason is my best shout (with Peter McNamara a very distant 2nd). I'm pretty sure it's the Kiwi. Thanks frigbo. We'll close the book on this one...........unless of course someone else knows better I'll put a few final photos up for grabs in the next few days Thanks frigbo!

......you sure it was Steve Gresham..............

.......and Kai Niemi's to me looked like he was writing in Mandarin..........

Annyone game for a shout at #173 or do I have to put some more photos up......................

On the subject of autographs who would win the award for "least legible signature" ??

So you do that all the time now then Grachan........????????

Might have to take issue with you here Grachan - David Bargh gets my vote on this one..............................

A popular pastime then, as it still is I'd guess Grachan. I've managed to hold onto some of mine from the 70's, when I was but a wee snip of a lad. Marek Cieslak/Bent Rasmussen/Markuu Helminen/.........goodness I've even got Vic Harding/Tony Featherstone who wins my vote for the rider who attempted to leave as little of the page unwritten on as possible/Stefan Salomonsson/Tony Boyle/Walter Grubmuller.........ah the memories......................

.........you are most welcome...............
