Me!

Psssenger in the main.

But did do half a season on an MZ660 Skorpion (Bored out by Slick Bass to 690cc and I believe used to be used as a support class in WSBK) but I was pretty rubbish to be fair but being in the 600 class with the CBR's ect, I was never gonna set the world alight. Did do 2, 4 Hour enurances races too on an RGV250 and ZX6R.

Also had one attempt at driving. I did ok, got off the line side by side with Moly and thought I was a god.....then spat my passenger out at the first corner :shock:

I raced a solo three times. Our Ians 350 proddy bike in 78, then his TZ 750 in 81 and 82. Raced would hardly be the term for it though :roll: .
