Watched him last week, definately one for the future.

Now even better as we've been invited to the pits prior to the meeting. Thanks to Theo and his crew.

Anyone going to Vechta next saturday to the Longtrack?

The 897 isn't that old !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take it easy Sean we look forward to your return ,soon,this weekend looks like a washout anyway.

Hope you are OK Sean, Take care.

You mean Daniele the Monarch.

Should we wonder how we can't attract new fans? Shame and ban the numpties.

All the best to Sean Paterson for friday's round. I hope you enjoy the meeting and score well.

Well, I enjoyed the book and think that he told a few home truths that we may just have suspected.

Great articles about Jack Young and how he progressed to be World Champion.

But aren't you from Gibrovia???

Good onya boy!!

Naughty bits and all send the pics

Looks like a cracking meeting. I hope Nicolai Klindt gets a podium place, he is a real star of the future.

Congratulations Gary.

And the steel shoe on the right footed boot was for what?

" The Pink Panther"

Thanks for your reply, was it not yourself that I spoke to during the week?

Can anyone give me technical details of the 897 engine which would include drawings or photo's. I have the manual for the 897 from the Jawa agent but this only gives basic information. I will pay postage etc.

Yes bring on the Jawa's too.

Is that like drinking shorts rather than long drinks?

The beer was also very good. A great day including the practice, and we visited France!

1965 he came 21st in the British semi finals. First 16 went through to the British final, won by Barry Briggs who went on to win the world championship.

Charlie Monk, because of his cool non talking exteriour. I was told that he would heat his R40 and bring it in a flask to put it into his oil tank and therefore gain an advantage in getting his bike going. I also remember him giving me his autograph and putting an X on the chin of a photo of George Hunter! If only he had made it to a world final, he had the class to make a rostrum place.
