Re: Derek Jones at Snett

Thanks Steve - A big help! I think this is the bike we are (very) slowly restoring. If anyone can confirm that this is the bike Derek reversed into the armco at high speed (At Brands, coming onto start straight I think?), then this is indeed the bike we now have (again), with the repaired/rebuilt re...

Yoshi is engineer for Nissin brakes and covers the Moto GP's (amongst other events). You can see his picture here: http://w...

I'm pretty sure Webbo has this bike now and is putting a TZ500 in it - it was found recently in a barn with a GPz900 in it :?

Last bumped into Les doing some of the organising at an Aintree event probably around 2002 when Dan was racing solo's.

Told me he was sorry to hear my Dad had passed away.

So was I.


I'd just sent him to get the beers.
