help wanted to find a photo

Unread post by mmm »

Hello, I dont no anything about bikes , but I hoped you might be able to help me trace photos of a Bill Davie and Robert Hopkins, they raced in the TT in 1984 to 1992. It will seem stange to you, but I am trying to get a picture of the bus they carried the bike and sidecar in. It would of been in about 1987/8 they had an old Bedford bus with a back door conversion. Any pointers of where to look would help. Thanks.

Do you want to get in touch with Bill? He is registered on here although I don't think he's been on for a few weeks.

Not a Bill Boddice hand-me-down perhaps :idea: :?:
It is true about the sidecar family - you can stop racing but you can never, ever leave!
