You never know with him. But with a stronger looking Glasgow team, he should be more relaxed about it and Sheffield strong too, so could be his best year for a while.

I bet that Charlie Monk wishes he had held on to his bike after he retired. I see that a dealer has his 1952 Mattingly Jap up for sale on E Bay for a cool £6,950. Complete with Charlie's nameplate and signature red Tigers dirt guards. Looks a real beauty and brings back memories for those old enough to recall the loud Charlie..Charlie...chants and the thunderous foot stamping in the stand at the old White City. Btw it can be posted for £100 it would appear. A very quiet man was Charlie but some rider in his day and had some great battles with the other top men of that time such as Mauger, Hunter, Briggs, Boothroyd, Squibb, Ivor Brown to name a few. Comments are a bit off topic perhaps, but at least the word "bike" and "retired" are a good excuse to slip in an interesting commercial ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purely in the interests of accuracy the date given in the advert is stated as 1952, but that is probably wrong as you have spotted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest you don't sign top heat leaders to increase their averages, you sign them to win heats & hope improvements come from the lower averaged riders. That being said I do expect Cook to up his average above 9. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way before my time but Charles Edward monk was my old man's favourite ever tiger. My old man's a dour faced sod as well so probably kindred spirits!!

tyretrax Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) Charlie's bike has been on Ebay for a while now. Showed Bud Porteous, Charlie's mechanic, the advert but he was unsure if it was genuine or not. Charlie sold a bike to a Sheffield junior and it was found in a garden shed, it was on display at the Fanzone at Cardiff.

Weeyin Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 It is because the promotion have not yet emailed the announcements directly to the bspa, I asked the question on a recent zoom meeting with promotion during a Tigers plus supporters event 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
