Re: Geoff Atkinson
I didn't know Geoff myself but he has been mentioned a few times on here, putting his name in the search box brings up the posts with his name in them. He was definitely one of the sidecar family having started passengering when he was 14 years old apparently 
(the rules were different in those days, all you needed was a helmet, leathers and baseball boots and you were away 
) He was one of the founding members of the North East Club and he passengered for Mac Hobson before driving his own outfits. http://www.nemcrc.co.uk/club-notices/ge ... -1944-2019
I am sure Belly, the old one that is
, will have known him well.
