One for you perhaps Nigel?

Yeah unfortunately Robin was paralysed in a crash going into clearways, and the bike followed him in to the tyre wall. This was final qualifying for the 250 supercup race, pretty sure it was 1996 like your pic.

Also Adrian Coates next to him, pitlane Ann Haslam and Adrian Clarks older brother.

WWW? quiet well known?

George Fogarty?

My first impression ,23, Clive Horton????????????????????

No 84 at Brands............Tony Rutter???

Haven't we had this before young Graham.... Is the stroker Aermacchi pilot Brian Hussey ? Dunno about the others. The guy on what looks like a Seeley framed G50 - distinctive crankcases visible there ? - looks a bit weird on the riding style front ?

Ermm, dont think we have? anyhow to put you out of your misery, and I don't think you will get them, or even of heard of them!! good guesses though!
#23 John Reynolds (not the well known John Reynolds) this guy liked Harleys as he had a 750 as well.
#98 Timothy Tucker
#96 Nigel Harris.
Snetters 1976.

Not George Fogarty or Tony Rutter, but I can see why you said them.

Albion Swinton Racing...Bernard Murray ??

Nope!

Blimey!! just seen on the news that Honda have pulled out of F1 with immediate effect!!
Sorry off topic but big news in motorsport I think. :\

So Mr Fu, we know who it isnt but.....................

Who is it?????????

Graham, could you please elucidate ?? (If that's the right word)

Is this skateboard F1 or the real 2-wheeled version ??

If it's the skateboards re the Max/Bernie show, then quite honestly, I couldn't give a flying wotsit, good riddance IMHO.

OK a clue then, initials are GW.

Re Honda F1, its on Sky News.....& its the boring Max/Bernie procession :yawn:

Graham Wood???

Force India are having some sponsorship problems also, how long before the mighty Toyota reconsider all the money they are pouring into the money lpi, with very little in the way of return?

No me neither (oh sorry Mick, its Skateboard version) but its linked to the general down turn in sales of Motor vehicles, and if its affecting Honda cars how are bike sales going, and on that note, Suzuki (MotoGP) have not got a sponsor as yet as Rizla have not said yes or no! Kawasaki are racing without a sponsor, how long can these companies go on spending millions of pounds for little or no return? And sponsors are going to be in short supply as companies cut advertising budgets!!
F1 has become unsustainable in the present circumstances, and I wont shed a tear if it folds in its present format, but thousands of jobs are reliant on Motorsport especially in the UK. :\

First name is right...

Infact this forum is reliant on Motorsport and advertising!!

what forum was that Graham?

Graham Waring ?

Nats in Silverdream racer bit, last post...Da Da Da Da.... Da Di Di Da Da etc...

correct Philippe, sadly lost at Scarborough Olivers Mount, a few months later 1978.

Last one before I turn in...WWW?

Graham.

I do believe that motorcycle racing is now in the doldrums.

MotoGP is alive only because of the continued appearance of Rossi. If he ever decided to transfer to F1 (improbable, we all know) I do believe that the general public would totally lose interest in MotoGP.

The TT. A total travesty of what it used to be, not a real race bike in sight, just a showcase for all the yamonduki clones pushed by the manufacturers and with the collusion of the ACU mafia. A disgrace to the finest sport ever devised by man.

rant over.

I think you will find this is true of most forms of motorsport, club car racing, Rallying, F1, way too much money involved, tracks become homogenised, costs rise, interest wanes. I would say that is why this forum is so well patronised

Agree with your points totally, used to love the Manx Rally

Yep thats just about the size of it Mick ---thats why we all love ( mostly ) the classic scene

Yes I think so too!! :\ and when the 250 class turns into the Honda fourstroke cup......goodnight Vienna and turn the lights off on the way out!!

Thought you might like to see this, a few TZ750's, a couple of our forum buddies Roy & Rob having fun at Brands a few weeks a go, oh an I am in it too, and so is whats is name!!
Its a great clip enjoy!

Who's that then Mr Fu ??? is it he who follows you round the forums ???

Peter Labuchagne..............maybe the wrong spelling!!!!

Welcome to the forum Jarno, look forward to some fresh opinions and postings!

When Vale finally calls curtains then I will not be watching as religiously as I do now!!!

Well done Jarno, correct! Peter Labuschagne from South Africa at Snetterton 1976.
Welcome

Is it the run between Coram Curve and Russell's Graham?

Morning Nigel yes it is, he is just setting himself up for the left hander, the first bit of "old" Russell's.

I knew there was something very familiar about that pic, but it just wouldn´t come to me. Graham Waring indeed. I had the great pleasure of meeting Graham at the Ulster GP one year, 1977 I think it was, where he finished on the podium after a great ride. Lovely fellow he was.

Going back a few days, sorry guys but been off the forum for a while due to a spot of Leg and hip surgery (we all have to pay for our fun later on) and a broken 'puter to boot.

Someone put a pic' of Roger Klimke on the forum some months back asking about him (i'm sure graham or somebody can find it) I posted a reply re' what I think was his last race at Snetteton.

Nice to be back Cheers Martin

Hi Martin, glad your back with us, and hope your on the mend now.

Re: Roger Klimke, not a name I know, so no piccies of him.

Ahha. No piccies of someone who once raced a bike. You´ve been found out at last.

Hi graham/ Rhodie, the pic was on the old thread probably 6 months or so ago but I'm not sure who posted it or how to get to the old thread, but I definitely replied to it about the last race which was the on the Snett long circuit iirc I won it and I believe he hurt himself quite badly and snapped his 750 in two

I think the pic was a paddock shot of him standing in front of his bike.

Martin

Hi Martin glad you're on the mend , yes Roger Klimcke on the I think Colourset machines , We were having a chat about him recently , but I do not remember a pic of him prior to that --but i'll have a delve and see what I can find on the old thread

Welcome to the forum Jarno hope you will enjoy it locked in with the old f..ts

Pardon my bad manners Martin. Yes, welcome back. I hope everything went well and you will be back to full fitness soon.
And a big welcome to Jarno as well.

Hi Martin
and welcome back, I think it was me if he was stood beside the bike, with his hand reswting on it. loooked like a 4 stroke could have been a weslake or some such? was taken by a lad who came with me to my 1st race? I if it was it was at Cadwell, , had a look through my pics on my aptop ( away from home at the moment cant find the pic so I presume its in my external HD, will dig it out and repost next week if indeed it is the pic. hth

yes I hang my head in shame!!

Found my post on the old forum 27th DEC 07!!!! how time flies when you get old I don't now how to drag it onto this thread, the picture was indeed posted by you Julian

I see Lambourne junior is on here, I new your Dad quite well Nigel, hope he's well we both had some help at the same time from Graham??(can't remember his surname) who owned GP accesories a fibreglass firm.

Martin
