Scouse Mac used to threaten to kill me as I could kick start it and he couldnt despite his size, I did my test with Steve Windle and rode a few events with him. After that I went on and rode with the REME team and BAOR. Yes enjoyed my time in Ripon, I was their when Pat Craze was the tiffy and I cant remember the guy after him but yes I was their then.
I remember you, I think you pilfered my MT spares when we were on Ex in Germany in 89

You'll remember Taff Byrne from the photos, he was a bit of a groupie of yours!

I cant remember pilfering your spares but I remember having a good stock of working spares by demanding that bit extra for each bike, had a good stock by the end levers tubes belts etc. yes I remember the faces, Jean Brodie in the pic as well ?? So what do you do now? I'm in Morocco at the moment but should be moving on soon.

Hi CM, yes the display started upstairs in the rest room so that the guys could hear bikes but didn't know where they were until we came out.

Brilliant! I rode the 2000 ISDE in Spain with Paddy! Etched in my memory is him sliding off at a roundabout 100metres from the start on day 1!! Typical Paddy! plus many other Enduro's

Was also at the first Cambrian Rally with Shaun Skinner, Gwyn Barraclough, Paul Hodgkins!! Happy days!

You don't need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.
