One of four pictures we have of Bob King riding with Alan Sansum.
If this works, expect a flood of pictures from Laxey!

Hi All,
Thanks for your posts and thanks to Bill for the photos.
o far i have photos from Bill and someone else of Dad and Alan competing in the TT. I have also found that they competed in the '67 race of the year at Mallory Park but i have no result.
I have also found that he did compete as a solo rider but again no details as of yet,
Thanks all for your help and any more details please pass them on,
Many thanks,
Steve.

RE: Info about my dad?
Hi all,
Well its been a while thanks to work etc but i have some news.
I have been in contact with a guy who used to go to my nans where Alan and dad used to fix up bikes mainly Ducatis and Triumph engines.
He has given a few good stories and photies, he also knew my cousin Andy Evans (funny how small the world really is).
I have also just received today 2 programmes 1 from the '67 TT and the other from the '66 Hutchinson 100.
So good to have something with his name in print.
I am still trying to find other events he participated in and will hopefully get more info soon,
Thanks,
