Sir Jasper

good question sandman!!!!!

unlucky dave

yep i am surprised him and JJ never had a slugfest with the amount of times they cut each other up!

I think dave is offering to pay Rick!!

it is all very well having these training tracks however what happens once you leave them, you perhaps find a place in a team and then could be left alone to fight your own battles. I think the BSPA and teams should look at some sort of training programme an apprenticeship if you like and it could include such stuff as basic mechanics, and even accountancy so they can look after their own money! I was shocked to read an interview from a bees rider last year, I can not remember who it was but he was saying that he had just returned from atraining camp run by his swedish or polish team. Why dont English clubs do this sort of thing??

Hi Rick what would you say was your best ever ride, best ever meeting and best ever season?

and then i suppose it gets easier to get the work the more you do!!! much like life!!

I can not quite remember, it was at one your functions so it may have been in your testimonial year, i shall try and get a photo of it up here for you it wmay jog your memory.

Kelvin was excellent for the bees! His british final wins were excellent and it seemed all the better because it seemed nobody else liked him apart from his own track fans!!! Oh and he does an excellent job on Sky much better than anybody else!!

How did you become a stunt man Rick?

Who would have thought that I have seen Tick so many times in those films and not known it!!

i have a signed american bodycolour of Ricks that i won in a raffle!! It seems to have a tyre mark on the back, Rick do you remember what happened to it?

no i was not rick as i was a little too young!!!

As a Bradford fan in the late 80's I have some memories of 3rd heat leaders/second strings who used to love the track repeatedly turning up and stuffing us!!! Don't think anybody will top the days or Riss and Castagna doing it for Ipswich but Rick seemed to like the place. yep rick did go well around there and had it not been for an Ef (I think or it may have been an exclusion) he could well have been on the rostrum in the 1990 WF held there.

anyone remember when Andy Hackett beat Gundersen?? bought the house down!!

yep please do rick!!

Back then everyone in the team was capable of team riding. Don't get to see much of that anymore. Wonder how many 5-1's Rick and JJ actually got. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> apart from Jj and tatum!!! I seem to remember thos 2 getting in the wa of each other more than Robson and Harris!!

Rick, if it is you, you are a legend, your testimonial was one of the most entertaining meeting ever!! Also not forgetting the night you had to get a 12 point maximum to earn your work permit!!! Give us a sign Rick!!

Tommy was excellent and this showed when he came back from his career ending injury to be one of the top riders in the world again! I remember when he first came back and struggled quite for some time until one night against Cradley and it all came back and he beat Hamill in a run off to give us the bonus point!

Bert!!!!!!!!!! as your brother this is disgraceful why did you not tell me about this can I join now and tyou just miss off my points for the first round! Go on Please

i have just read what that mick horton said and what an idiot he is especially the bit where he goes on about when they went there all knowing which riders they wanted to keep. Newsflash mick it sounds like they are all having a laugh at your expense. Can you imagine them all sitting there. "yes of course mick we are not going to try and have any riders you wish to have" "not"

sorry i do not understand what and who are you talking about?
