This 193 is really bugging me... I know you're probably thinking I'm just having some wild stabs, but I want an answer! There are mixed clues in the pic. The photo is not that clear, and looks very much like a mid-to-late 70's shot, but the bib ruins all that.

 

It is Shawn's bike. The style doesn't look familiar, although it is taken from a different angle. I know he usually used a white Bell Moto III helmet, but the leathers look very much like Zenon's...

Let it bug you no more!. The photo was taken in June 1982, and yes that is Shawn's bike......and yes, Mr Plech it is!!

 

Well done Chunky.

Thank you so much!!! Boy, that was driving me crazy; it took me a long while to get there... Oh, and did we ever get any closer to solving 90? Like many others, it looks like Sam to me, but if, as you say, you really don't know who it is, why are you so sure it's not? He doesn't look that tall, so what about Colin Cook or Guy Wilson? Do you know when it was taken?

I also have what appears to be confirmation of the fourth rider in 88. I thought it looked like Peter Carr, and on checking, I found that in Heat 2 of the Belle Vue-Sheffield BL Match on August 21, 1982, Peter Carr finished last behind Brown, McMillan and White.

88. I thought Kenny McKinna but he joined in 83 so from the team of 82 i would say either Louis Carr or Peter Ravn, however i seem to remember Rod Hunter appearing a few times during the season. So all things considered i am going to say.

 

Keith Bloxsome. :shock:

I'll try and locate photos from the same meeting which might help establish who 90 is. My thoughts (from memory) were that it was a junior rider - Guy Wilson seems a very good shout and seems to ring a few bells with me. I'll see if I can find out any further clues..............

 

Thanks Chunky
