Chas Mortimer?

there was a feature on Andy in Road Racing Ireland a couple of years ago though can't for life of me remember what it said he was doing - he never did get full use in his arm after the Mallory crash in '86 but all was well and good with him

English rider - Chas Mortimer?

It had a sticky moment or two, but all good again - Happy Xmas Donnie

Correct!

Can we have a clue for CD then Donnie? I dont want to lie awake all night thinking about it!

Graham

Probably wrong forum for CD as he raced until 1976. Did a few GPs. Has a similar first name to CM. In fact it is the same if full name is used. Don't really know him but discovered he lives nearby. Best result 6th Yugoslavia 500cc 1972?

Charles Dobson?

On a Kawasaki.

Now I'am just showing off!

Correct again on all counts!

Kerrowmar: I think the rider that was neck and neck with Andy was me! (Donnie McLeod). Got a bit of stick for this, as some thought I had hit Andy as I nipped up the inside. Anyone know hat Andy is up to now? He was very fast - nearly won British 250 GP in 84?

Hi Supercomp.

This forum never ceases to amaze me,that incident was a very long time ago and I can still see it now. Great to hear the riders thoughts of the time.

Your reputation is still intact as Im sure there was no contact.(We all know Clearways can bite back especially on the last lap) That was a great days racing with a paddock full of RGs and TZs and I think Andy was on an EMC that day.

Happy Xmas to all

Excellent ! Charlie went on for years after he retired from GPs in classic racing, including down here in the Hebrides, and was always smooth and quick ! A good soldier., with an impressive record.

I'm not so sure about that being John Lofthouse, His bike and leathers but the helmet is I think Iain Duffus? who borrowed what?

How many pages back was the photo Neil? Both Duffus & Lofthouse were sponsored by Sharples, so the top front of the helmets looked the same

Post 20162, John Lofthouse it is for me.
p. 505

It's definitely John

OK then no one gone for Greg Hansford 1978 Silverstone?

'cept you Were you there ?

Might of been!

who's sidecar next to Greg Hansford???

Alan Pellet is #36,

and the two guys on the RG?

Go on Tim tell us!

may be John Newbolds crew? not sure ... some one will put me right
Steve Manship crew??

Robin-Knox Johnsons crew , perhaps ??

we are sailing we are sailing..........................................

He's going for a gallop in the Sydney-Hobart on Boxing Day, for the first time. Of course, we'll be locked into the cricket from the MCG, but in a coincidence of good timing, the Sydney-Hobart starts as the cricketers break for lunch on day 1. Excellent !

Not Manship's crew - I'm not on it.

Iain had blue helmet, John yellow. will post pic. Not saying its not John, but just not sure.

A wild guess at Werner schwarzel outfit no 3 behind Hansford and to the side Rolf Biland no2 ?.

Was there a reason behind Juan Garriga sporting a large Pac Man on his helmet?

Very quiet Andy Interesting that some of the newer threads had a bit of life in them, this one, which is more of a WWW slipped down for a while

I'm still her
This wont last long?

They have got bored & gone to play else where

You're an England supporter, like many NZ ers ?

That, son, will be the day ! However, can't deny their homework and hard yakka has made them into one formidable outfit. Tremlett, in for the injured Broad, has been find of the summer for me. Timing, as usual, is everything, and for them to pounce while Australia's flagging must be the stuff dreams are made of, not just for the squad but all their loyal supporters. Hats off, and I have a wager of a carton per test with a pom at work, so the attention has been up...
However, I'd paid the subscription to watch the internet broadcast of the Boxing Day Wanganui roadrace, with a view to watching that, keeping an eye on the test from the MCG, and knocking off a few cold ones on the 38 degree day....as it happened, the power went off at 7am, didn't come back on till after 7pm, so no Wanganui, no MCG test, no aircon, and a fridge of diminishing effect, grrrrr...
Luckily I had a pal on a camera at the flowerbed corner at Wanganui texting me results, seems John Woodley finished 8th in the Bears on the MV.

Hi

Still here, Martin Wimmer, Charlie Williams, Keith Hewen and Didier de Radeiges all 350 Yamaha's 1980 or 81?

Cheers,
Leif
