racers and royals Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I understand that the UK health and safety executive have been investigating dangerous sports and a ruling is likely to be made that all Speedway bikes used on British tracks will have to have brakes fitted-this could apply from the start of the 2014 season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YerRopes Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 L plates for any rider's first appearance at a track. Â I'd expand this even further and introduce the conical 'D' for 'Dunce' hat (mostly for Darcy of course) and I wouldn't want him standing anywhere near my steps either, thank you very much... Â If Poole are slow on this particular production line, just let Darcy borrow Middlo's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cockney Rebel Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I think the bell on the handlebars should be adopted... great idea !! Â If I remember correctly, the late great Garry Middleton wanted to put Colonel Bogey air horns on his bike so he could play them as he passed his opponents, sadly the idea wasn't approved.
