ron manager Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Dear all I was a fanatic of the golden years of Kings Lynn.1975 to early 80s , and i saw some fantastic racing and made friends with alot of the riders. I am racking my brains trying to think what the parade music at the start of every meeting was when they used to line up near the tapes with their bikes and on a summers eve to see Betts,Lee Helsen and Turner ride round with no helmets on was a joy . I have looked everywhere ,i have spoken to the men in the know at Kings Lynn but no-one knows it. Please could any-one give me a clue or know the name of it. Thanks Mark Oh yes and Mike" the Bike" Lee ,what a true legend of the sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Man Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I would take a guess at The start of "The Gallop" from "William Tell". I dont know, but quite a few tracks used that, I think one or two still do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Man Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Sorry, I was thinking about the music they may have played just before the tapes went up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron manager Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Trees i would like to say you are a s.t.a.r. what memories this has brought back . My brother used to weld for all the Kings Lynn team and got to meet them personally and knew them well good days indeed . One of my memories is Mike Lee coming out of the second bend with his bike and body in true harmony. Thanks for all your help,and what a great site for us old enthusiasts mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I had to look all through this section of the forum to find the name, I wanted to hear it as much as you lol I couldn't remember the name of it but I could remember a thread months ago about speedway tunes Most youngsters don't understand how much that tune meant to us fans (still does ), I was only a kid when I started going to Lynn and certainly not into band music but it became part of the night for me, I always marched out of the stadium at the end of the meeting too Ahhhhhhhh those were the days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
