Are you Scottish? If that's the case I'm not surprised you don't know.

Bill and Chris Swallow
I see three Swallows in this MGP Classic - Bill, Richard and Peter. 1st, 2nd and 11th.
Somehow, the link didn't happen. It was the 1989 Senior Classic MGP. https://imuseum.im/s...-event-885.html

The late Alec Fullerton and his brother Terry.
From the interview with Terry Fullerton, covered in the following link:
https://www.motorspo...-449910/449910/
Senna, being the fierce competitor he was, became hell-bent at beating Fullerton at everything he did. They were both in Japan testing once and the suits at Yamaha asked them if they would like to try out some trials bikes.
"Of course, we jumped at the opportunity. They had this obstacle course where you could just try the bikes around. I was quite used to riding bikes. I had rode bikes a lot as a kid so I was immediately jumping around and that sort of stuff. I think Ayrton had ridden bikes, but not quite as much as me."
"He was never going to be out-done by whatever I do. There was one point when I drove along the back of a large pipe, probably a meter in diameter." Terry jumped off the pipe at the end, doing a wheelie on the back wheel and landing safely. Immediately, Senna tried to replicate the move.
"He jumped off the end of the pipe and the bike landed, more or less, pointed towards the sky and he fell back. Somehow, you know, brilliant reactions, he stood on the back brake or something and managed to just about get it back and not have a bad accident. That move he did was more impressive that what I had done. So he was always in this constant state of trying to do better than me."
