stevebrum Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Brilliant to see PK prepared to race for us again next season. The man is just incredible. Many would have retired a long time ago in the same situation. Peter will always be synonymous with Wolves but hopefully can, in his third season as a hammer, create his own legendary status by bringing the title to the raceway. Well said, you can probably see why PK is a legend with Wolves fans. Top class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Lakeside's reserves can now learn and improve from riding with one of the sports best riders. Not only a top rider but also the perfect gentleman. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E I Addio Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Lakeside's reserves can now learn and improve from riding with one of the sports best riders. Not only a top rider but also the perfect gentleman. Very true. And in addition to Lewis Bridger they'll also have Peter Karlsson. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liam Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I think lewis has matured since the birth of his daughter and seems to now have his head screwed on. We all made mistakes when we was in our teens it's just ours were not out for all to see. Think he also does a bit for the lakeside academy.

E I Addio Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Lets start with general etiquette..... In fairness to Lewis I don't think any body could say he his a disruptive team member (Certainly not with Lakeside, I can't speak for Eastbourne), and I don't think anybody could say he is a dangerous rider. I can't remember him being excluded for dangerous riding and I can't remember him even being excluded for being the primary cause of a stoppage, except when his primary chain broke although if he has been it must be very rare. Similarly I doubt whether anyone can remember many (or any) occasions when he has been excluded for tapes infringements. I doubt if anyone can remember him deliberately staying down to get a race stopped. I can remember a couple of occasions when he came to Lakeside with Eastbourne and made big efforts to get his bike off the track after falls. Last season he established himself as a very capable and unselfish team rider. So if you look at Lewis purely from the point of view of his on track activities he comes out rather better than a number of others including some GP riders and including at least one in Team GB rider. So al in all Lewis is not an angel, but as purely an entertainer of the public he does his job as well as the next man and better than a lot. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Peter Ljung would be a great signing for someone on his average.. I was saying throughout 2013 Coventry should of signed him. On that average he is a bargain and will clean up as a 2nd string. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Do check out this competition to spend some time with Lewis Bridger http://www.gofundme.com/277bhg Here the winner from his competition last year, talks about the time she spent with Lewis as her prize; Had a brilliant evening at Lakeside Hammers vs. Bellevue Aces as Lewis' guest after my competition win in April. Both Lewis and Ian were brilliant hosts and I was well looked after through out my visit. I met Lewis and Ian for tea in the Stadium Cafe and we had a brief chat. Then Lewis took me on a personal track walk and explained a bit about track preparation and how the riders approach a heat. We chatted a bit about speedway in general as well then went to the pits so Lewis could introduce me to his mechanic and talk me through some of the preparations he makes to the bike before a meeting. Lewis then got ready for the meeting whilst Ian and I went to the pit wall to await the start. After 5 heats I was brought on to the centre green and watched 4 heats from there including the rerun that Lewis won. It was an exciting meeting full of thrills and spills and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. I would like to thank both Lewis and Ian once again for the opportunity and ask all the Lakeside Hammers fans to continue to support Lewis throughout the remainder of the season and beyond. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 I wonder if those criticising Bomber on the Coventry thread will have a go at Lewis? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPanther Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 I wonder if those criticising Bomber on the Coventry thread will have a go at Lewis? Would you say Lewis, at his level, cant make a decent living as a professional speedway rider ? Just asking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Would you say Lewis, at his level, cant make a decent living as a professional speedway rider ? Just asking... I have no idea but it is a form of sponsorship and, like Bomber's page, I don't see anything wrong with it. It was just interesting that Bomber was coming in for a lot of stick when clearly a number of speedway riders are using this as a way of funding their riding (albeit relatively small funding) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
