I am still scanning all my old slides and negatives and trying to name them, have found these 2. The first at Cadwell Park in 1989 is I think Jim Moodie, the second No 23 is at the Stars at Darley meeting 1990 I have no idea who. Can anyone help.

Richard Scott? looks like the bike that was much modded by Ron Grant.

edited to add: with a second butchers, could be Brian Morrison.

Talk about hedging your bets, eh?

Had a good look through old pics again, found this one at Cadwell in 1988, wasn't a good scan had to play with it a bit but I can definitely identify the rider as Jim Moodie, looking at the leathers and comparing them with the original 1989 post, I think I was right in my original guess. What do you think?

It says Jim on his collar strap.

It also says ' Shoei ' on his helmet , do you reckon thats his surname , and could he really be 40......................

Going by the colour of Jim's leathers, did he ever ride the rotary Norton?

[picblanc]

Yes when it was Duckhams sponsored 1993?

[dommieracer]

Oh, yes in the later years, Moodie n Simpson. Just the leathers in the pic is the same colours when Buckmaster then Nation rode the bike. Red, blue and silver.

[ravenous25]

definitely Mr Moodie

pretty sure he never rode the JPS Norton - he did have all of the 1993 season on the Duckhams Crighton Norton
