Watched chris in his final year at workington, overweight he was knackered after 4 laps with a red face and sweat pouring off him ron bagley thought if fit he could still have been a number 1 for the comets just lasted a few weeks!
I remember he would come to workington sometimes on the train saw him pushing his bike from the station about 100 yrds to the track, seem to recall taffy owen coming off on the back straight and geoff catching his bike am sure geoff was on a brand new jawa that night !
I was on the pit gate at derwentpark when dave parrys bike blew up in ht 2 i can remember him walking past saying thats my f****** lot the rest is history
I once drank a small bottle of whisky over a girl years ago , i remember sitting on the toilet and standing over the sink for hours, never again still her loss all the best to chris an ex comet to remember.
It wasnt a complaint just an observation have been getting my "comic" since 1970 2 wives 4 kids and 12 grandkids later its still a buzz to read it and they all know not to through any out
another great read today good to see ex comets john and craig doing well,daft thing to say but the paper felt different today ,or could be my wet hands as i soak in the bath whilst reading my star, hope it dont put people off lol
Whats the difference between standing in a packed street in soho and a speedway stadium?,that street in soho is packed with gay bars close it and there would be a protest in london by lgbt rights!
Watched 3 meetings over the weekend tracks same shape and size and gate 1 had a bike length start, still would love to go to a meeting to sample the atmosphere when this is back to normal .
