It has been very hard in the 60 years since to shake me from the belief that Ove is the greatest rider of all time. Possibly because it is true. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did attend a World Final at Wembley in the early 1980s. If I recall correctly it was won by an American? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That`s the one- i think a certain R Moore might be there as well but he wasn`t photographed a lot so i can`t be certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
