Assumed he'd not be racing anymore as not seen him in years...
.... & he'd usually knock about with the classic boys or be watching a crmc meeting but not seen him

Having talked to Mike Bellaby, we think it could well be him.
Anyone any ideas who to ask who may know something

I could be totally wrong, but did he work at Harleyworld in Chesterfield up to about 3/4 years ago, I think he was Jockanease (Scottish) and also was on Sky showing how good Fatboys were (Harley Davidson model) he was on with Steve Berry, he bought a outfit and I passengered just the one day at the Bruntingthorpe testing track, oh it was rough, and the borrowed leathers far to tight, he started to race, but donno how he done

yes he was a smelly sock but not sure if it's him.
Mike B may know if it sounds familiar.
