Hi Helen, trying to sort out my impending divorce at the moment.Funny how she never showed a bit of interest in the stuff but all of a sudden I have a letter from her solicitor saying she owns half of it! If it was any other subject I'd tear the photos etc in half but don't really fancy doing that to the signed Hailwood photos etc.
Tall Danes? A name doesn't spring to mind. The only Dane of note in the YY was Sorensen but a long time ago.I will have a look at the programmes if the date was narrowed down a bit.I wonder if he means a Swede by any chance?
Re: Tall Danes 1970s - Anonymous - 27-07-2004
I have looked at the programmes from 1970 to 1976 & there are no Danish riders listed, but doesn't mean there wasn't any.Another suggestion could it be Helmut Dahne the tall German BMW rider?

I have to say that the german came to mind for me, when the question was raised.
Its interesting that none of us can remember a dane from the period
Re: Tall Danes 1970s - Anonymous - 29-07-2004
A name like G SOBRAL is one put forward...Has he ridden in t' TT RACES OR the ManxGP.....

Do'nt think it is who you are looking for but there was a Herman Soubral in the 1976 junior TT on a Yamaha.Otherwise name not listed in either TT or MGP records.
Re: Tall Danes 1970s - Anonymous - 29-07-2004
Yes, I checked those too, and nothing resembling it. Can't think of any Danes except Dane Rowe....wish i could track her down!
