The White Knight

Like the Avatar Dave. Who is it?

I'm afraid that you are right Star Lady. :sad: Faster does not make the Racing better in my opinion. For the sake of a few tenths of a second, they have changed the Bikes in to very dangerous machines indeed. Racing is definitely faster these days - but it was better in years past. There were still injuries then - but not so many serious ones. Of course, I know I will be called a rose coloured spectacled old duffer - but it is what I believe to be true.

Perhaps they should give it a try. I might even make the Bikes safer?

A pity that. :sad:

That thing Work. I gave it up years ago. To be honest - I don't know how I ever found the time to go...................................................

Ludvig is doing OK this year so far. I sincerely do hope that it continues.

Exactly. We will never know though as we got through only due to the location of the Final. To me - that is a despicable way to 'qualify'.

Well it certainly would have saved some of the comments this Thread if they had done that. We probably wouldn't have made the Final then. I actually agree with you about that. If we are not good enough - we shouldn't be in it.

Ooops - read your Post again. I apologise unreservedly. Note to self: Must read Posts more carefully. Sorry.

So what are oyu on about? I only Posted the 'Link' in order to try to settle things down.

Roscoe seems happy. Perhaps some should read this................................................ http://www.speedwaygb.co/news.php?extend.30952

I envy you Star Lady. I wish I could say that. :approve:

As far as I know - you are right Star Lady. You are also right that there is nothing like the sound of those Rolls Royce Merlin Engines either. Incidentally, the Canadian Lancaster was over here last year and flew with the one from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (The Spirit of the Ruhr).. This quote from the Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir Arthur (Bomber) Harris, Commander in Chief of Bomber Command: “I would say this to those who placed that shining sword in our hands: Without your genius and efforts we could not have prevailed, for I believe that the Lancaster was the greatest single factor in winning the war.”

Shhhhhhhhh - you mustn't mention 'Crusades' on here.

Aaahhhhh - thought so. That explains it.

No - I'm Spartacus!!

I think you should leave your Jocks out of this. It made me shudder when I read that. :rofl:

I just had to laugh. :rofl: :rofl: Brilliant.

Nel Revlis was Clerk of the Course at Sunderland. Of course everyone knew............................................ Like other Promoters at the time he was another of the Speedway Characters of the olden days. Now Len knows/knew how to actually Promote the Sport.

The 'Great Man' Promoted and Sunderland in 1971/72. I will be forever greatful to him for that.

To be honest, my Post regarding Niki was actually tongue in cheek. The Rider everyone loves to hate. A true Character. I, for one, will miss him when he retires. I missed Jack Millen too. The Sport nowadays doesn't really have the characters or entertainers it used too. For me Niki Pedersen goes against that, love him or hate him is always worth watching or listening too, even his rants.. He, like Jack Millen before him, will put money on the Gate at most Speedway Meetings he takes part in.

Twonkology - now there's a thought. :rofl:

I'm already old and decrepit Trees. :sad: I haven't got my Zimmer Frame yet though. :rofl: How the hell did you know? :rofl:

Heard Niki Pedersen was working on Security that night. He gets blamed for everything else. :rofl:

Typical Speedway - put the GPS on a Platform (BT) that not many people have. An inspired choice. I wonder who made that dubious decision? I think I can guess though. :rolleyes:
