I know an 80 year old fellow called Alan Pinnock who raced motorcycles in England in the 60s. He's a lovely chap enjoying his twilight years. I've googled and found a handful of race programmes with him given as an entrant and a couple of photos....does any member here have any specific memories of Alan or photos of him racing? I know he sometimes raced a Bultaco 244cc bike. Any memories and especially photos would be gratefully received and make a great Christmas present for him.

Can I bump this? Does anyone have any photos of Alan from his racing days? Someone did post some year a decade or more ago but those links are long gone. Alan is now an elderly man and would be delighted to see any photos that have survived.

Did he do the TT or Manx or just the Billown races when in the IOM ?

 

Edit: Also found this Mallory programme with Alan as both entrant & rider in the Lightweight race
