When we visited the Great Man.

Unread post by jim blanchard »

Found this pic the other day of when we visited Klaus Enders at his house for a glass of wine or two... :D about half a dozen years ago.

He duly obliged by signing a few prints. There was not a photo of him racing or anything to do with motorcycles in the house. :o

I also found two strips of b/w of 6 (twelve altogether) of Derek Jones testing an outfit at Snetterton in the wet. If I scan them would anyone want to see them?

Maybe 81 or 82, when he had (i think) the first LCR to come into the country. Jim, i would like to see them.

I'm going for Mac Hobson & Kenny Birch. :)
Kenny Birch had a very similar style to Kenny Arthur, but then they were good mates :)

I think this is Gordon Russell with Mac Hobson.
