Could be Keith Huewen, I'm sure he rode the black Heron bikes in 82, not Croz. ?

Sep 29 2008, 05:43

Good point. If indeed it is 1982, Croz would have been doing GPs on the Marlboro Yams.

Hi Boz

I remember your mate Mike Wilson very well! He was a regular at Llandow in the seventies and rode a green Norton twin to very good effect, before he got the TZ. If I recall correctly, didn't he have a bad accident?

Hi Boz, I don't have a picture myself, but when I was looking through some of my Dads pics earlier this year when we were back in the UK, I came across a picture from the old Wroughton track.
It had Barry Seward, Roy kennedy, my dad (Len Lambourne), Mike and Andy Hayman all together in it.
Funnily enough, I couldn't remember Mike's name at the time, but it was a green and orangy red coloured TZ.
The photo was quite blurry (like one of Phil's Box Brownie specials!

), if you are interested I will ask him to try and find it and e-mail it to me.

I like this one, the riders I know except the one on the far left. 1982 I think?

Well done all of you, yes it is Keith Huewen not Croz, then Chris Guy and Steve Henshaw, and it is early practice.

Hiya, not sure if anyone might be able to help me out here. I'm looking for any photos of a rider I used to help out in club/national racing back in the late 70's. His name is Mike Wilson. He used to race a TZ350, at places like Wroughton, Keevil, Lydden.

Many thanks, Boz

Hi again Boz, just to let you know I was talking to Bill ( Marks ) today , and he remembers Mike pretty well -- saying they had a couple of good races between them

and was quite complimentary
