Neckerchiefs


KIWIPIRATE

Recommended Posts

In days past, many riders were known to sport a distinctive neckerchief – perhaps an affectation, or to stop an influx of shale down the inside of leathers that weren’t quite made to measure…

 

Ronnie Moore, of course

Barry Briggs – the classic red and white polka dot model ISTR

Ivan Mauger – a black/white check thing, during his Newcastle days anyway

Bert Harkins – a tartan job, of course

Colin Gooddy – another red & white man

Sverre Harrfeldt

Christer Lofqvist

Scott Autrey – for that dreamy cowboy look….

 

Any others, past or present?

Neil Collins is the only one I know who has always worn one and is still riding.

Charlie Barsby, but this was so long ago I don't suppose anyone even remembers him. :-(

Ah! Memories of my teenage years and him being my favourite rider and all that. Local lad made good in the Leicester Hunters team, blond, handsome.

Gosh I must keep calm as I have got to go and have my blood pressure tested in a couple of hours.....:oops:

I asked Ove once why he only used a scarf whilst everyone else used face masks and scarfs. He said,"To be honest I did not expect to get that much dirt thrown at me".

 

Thats brilliant he must have been quick out of the gate from 20yds back or perhaps he kept a safe distance ! ;):lol:

Ronnie Moore always had a whiter than white scarf

Recycling a thread after 16 years. Impressive. :t:
