Called in to see Dick last night, thought he'd turned into Grizzly Adams, swears he won't shave off the beard untill the bikes up and running, at this rate he'll be giving Pete the Paddy a run for his money in the longest beard stacks,ha ha.
Bike looks great and i can see Dick getting some fun back into his racing once it has chance to suck in some Belgium air!
