iris123 Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 I met him some years ago when he was on official FIM duty at the Ice speedway in Inzell. A lovely guy and of course I saw him in his riding days. Great rider as well 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
