Cyril Maidment

Just seen this Cyril Maidment thread.

Cyril lived out his later years in Tenerife. At the time my son was managing a bar out there and met Cyril.  He told Cyril I was visiting the island and arranged for me to meet the man.  I was late for the meeting but gentleman Cyril waited for me at the bar (he was on lemonade!) and we had a great speedway conversation.  He then left on his Harley Davidson. 

A couple of years or so later my by then ex-wife visited and knowing Cyril was her favourite Aces rider my son arranged another meeting with her! He then took her on a tour of the island!

He was unwell for some time at the end and 'parked' his Harley as he said he  just couldn't handle it anymore.

But a real gentleman.
