I love watching Adam ride. :approve: There are certain riders who could be entertaining to watch, even if riding alone. Adam would certainly fall into this bracket for me. Peter Karlsson another who springs to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 In the '70s I used to love to hate Ole Olsen - but he is still the second best rider I've ever seen! In the Wimbledon CL days for some reason the Allen brothers had a massive downer on the Plough Lane track which certainly didn't endear the pair of them to me or to other Dons folk!!

Trees Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 So riders I dislike have made a connection with me, so it's gotta be riders who I find boring or who are easily forgettable . . . Dunno I've forgotten them :-o ;-) I guess I'll go with the flow and say Hancock does nothing for me for one . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never met him so I've no idea why and if Karl sees this - sorry. Totally agree with SCB regarding Pedersen - I want to dislike him, but I love to watch him ride. The sport would be so much duller without him. I met karl fiala at the lydd veterans meeting a couple of years ago. He seemed a very nice bloke who is still very keen on all things speedway!

Mr Blobby Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Dakota North just for the way he acts! think he is a better rider than he is Richard Lawson for being a gating tart, don't think i have ever seen him make a pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I'll add Ryan Sullivan too. No reason, just never liked him. Was certainly pissed off when he passed Todd Wiltshire to win the Cardiff GP one year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wrong one retired! I think the two were linked to be honest. I think it was Bruce who predicted that Billy would be World Champion sooner but wouldn't last as long (or something like that) thanks to their very different riding styles. For the record I am a big fan of both, not surprisingly, and seeing them team ride was a definite highlight. Especially pleasing when it was on a 5-1 at Monmore against Sam/Ronnie/PK etc and they were comfortable enough to switch from outside to inside lines through the bends - there must be a video of that somewhere? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching him race, he had no regard for fellow riders and engaged in truly dangerous moves, often going for "gaps" which didn't exist. Given how he died, I don't think you need apologise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
