E I Addio Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 PK can beat anyone at Monmore as its his spiritual home. Last years 8.68 average says he has two spiritual homes now and two sets of fans that love him. Its an absolute privilege to have such a great sportsman(in every sense of the word) in the team. With regard to Fred's testimonial and with due respect to the riders concerned I think the name of the game will be to put on a show and raise a decent wedge for Fred without doing anything silly before the season starts in earnest so I wouldn't read too much into the result. Best wishes to all riders for a good meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an absolute privilege to have such a great sportsman(in every sense of the word) in the team. Make that three sets of fans. He was well respected and made lots of friends among the red and black faithful in his stints at the Showground. I'd say he is still the most popular visiting rider there now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beowulf Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Very pleasing to read these comments about PK. He is an all-time Wolves legend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an absolute privilege to have such a great sportsman(in every sense of the word) in the team. If you cut PK he would bleed black and gold. Saying that you always get 110% from PK - it is no wonder he is well respected by fans through-out the UK and other teams he has ridden for. The man is still a class act - yet you still get the yearly insults by some calling him `old man` and past his best. He remains a top rider in the UK, and it is so good to see positives about the Wolves legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourentee Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 you still get the yearly insults by some calling him `old man` and past his best. I've always regarded the 'old man' comments as admiring rather than otherwise. 'The old man continues to show the youngsters' -- that kind of thing. Tremendous rider and top bloke. Great deadpan sense of humour, too, topped off with that Sweden-meets-Gornal accent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAST GATER Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Make the most of him the clock is ticking I really don't think you will see the the likes of him again ,riding at the top level and holding his own in his mid forties.He is a credit to the sport and I hope he has another season or so in him and I wish him an injury free 2013 and hope he scores shed load of points.

cityrebel Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 PK has always been one of my favourite riders of the modern era. being a lakeside regular, it was a privilege to watch him ride for the hammers last season and more of the same in 2013!

Totally agree with that as well as being one of the fairest, cleanest riders and a really nice guy, a true gentleman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourentee Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Totally agree with that as well as being one of the fairest, cleanest riders and a really nice guy, a true gentleman. Very pointy elbows in the first turn, mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) I've always regarded the 'old man' comments as admiring rather than otherwise. 'The old man continues to show the youngsters' -- that kind of thing. Tremendous rider and top bloke. Great deadpan sense of humour, too, topped off with that Sweden-meets-Gornal accent. In that context yes Fourentee, but when it is followed by past his best, not a number one etc then it becomes a derogatory. Thankfully his usual knockers have been quiet this season because, lets face it, the black and gold legend is STILL doing the business! Ah, so that is the dialect , i couldn't quite place it.

Animal Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Lewis will be live on the Biker FM Speedway Show on Tuesday (5th) 8pm to 10pm, talking about the coming season with the Hammers and his expectations.

Animal Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I just read this on Lewis's website. www.lewisbridger.com I have some amazing sponsors for 2013, but speedway racing is very expensive and I could still do with some more financial assistance. This would enable me to have the very best equipment and to be able to pursue my dream of becoming a British World Champion. If you are able to help me in any way, no matter how small, please do donate www.gofundme.com/277bhg Thank you. To recognise all of those people who kindly donate, I will list your name on the sponsors page of my website. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel1 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 PK may have pointy elbows in the first corner but he can still position himself well for all sixteen of them, witness that cut under Ward at the RICO meeting last year. Pity Ward decided to drop it because had he not done so the race would have been one to behold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voice Of Reason Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Oh yes, I remember that too. The night when Poole's 'golden boy' was unbelievably let back into the re-run, and then undeservedly won it. Not to mention his previous race of course when he decided to side-swipe AJ - which could have resulted in an awful injury. Unfortunately, Darcy Ward only cares about one thing........himself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montie Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Unfortunately, Darcy Ward only cares about one thing........himself. Which is why the lad will be world champ many times....sometimes it's what's needed to do it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
