Where Are They Now?

Hi folks,

 

On a similar line to the thread started by Grachan I thought it would be interesting to hear names of past riders whom we hear little of these days or riders we would like to hear updates on. I'll start shall I?

 

Gary Tagg

Martin Goodwin

Jamie Habbin

Andy Graham

Alan Graham

Scott Norman

Simon Cross

Dave Mullet

 

To name just a couple of guys who I'd love to hear updates on. I guess these guys are now retired but anyone know what they're up to these days?

 

Cheers,

 

LT.

Jamie Habbin

Ah! The Pink Panther. He was hilarious on some of those Mike Bennett tapes.

I'd be interested to know what the Grahame Brothers are doing now as well.

Thanks for that. :approve:

Are they together as a team or on separate outfits?

Just wondering which one would be mad enough to be the passenger.

Something strange about people who do that. :P

Martin Goodwin is still at Arena Essex most weeks, usually in the pits with Troy Pratt and others. Martin's daughter Abby is one of the startline girls at Purfleet too. Martin has been team manager at Arena for a couple of stints in the past few years.

 

I think I remember seeing Gary Tagg at a Brighton Bonanza, helping out.

 

Last I heard about Jamie Habbin was that he was going to move to Australia, that was shortly after he stopped racing here.

Whilst reading the best pair's thread I saw an entry for Scotland included "the late George Hunter".

Forgive my ignorance but is this the George Hunter that rode for Oxford in the late seventies? if so when did he sadly leave us?

George was one of the best things to happen to Oxford.

His family run a truck & bob cat business.

 

Isn't that called a pet shop?

 

Selling cats?

 

It's not?

 

Oops.
