Filice.
Yes. But it was my half hour lunchtime at work.
We had a garage just down from him at Daytona 1981, used the same tyres as Jimmy (tires in American, Felice is Filice in real English ) we invented the language and can use it as we like, even when it's wrong
Anyway the thread was about 'Funny or Strange Sponsorships' if I'd known it was a spelling lesson I'd have employed a lawyer.

My brother swears blind there was a topless bunny on the grid a year or two ago.

Going back a bit further, Jack Machin was sponsored by Lincoln Cathedral for a while in the late 70's, I can only assume that the Bishop of Lincoln at the time was a racing enthusiast.

I remember in the 70s an English rider being sponsored by Durex. Afraid his name has escaped me. But I do remember the cartoon in MCN. It showed the rider talking to his mechanic saying "What do mean I have to wear one when I'm racing?"
During the Durex Suzuki days MCN had a cartoon depicting James Whtham pulling up to retire and saying to Mick Grant something like 'Sorry Mick, it split and I had to pull out'

Did they really call the bike "Slippery When Wet" ?

I forget his name but in the eighties a Long Eton Speedway rider was sponsored by a small office supplies company-for product only. What did he use from them?Elastic bands and paper clips to make his Flicker-automatic tear off changer-work!hi, just thinking there must be some cracking sponsors on bikes in the past that were out of the norm, i always remember dave peterson on the Kreepy Krawley honda i liked that.
