I have to say that it was Bob Mac who I first noticed when I wer' a lad! The famous "granite jaw!" Yes, he must not be forgotten. I remember going to the Bob McIntyre Memorial Meeting at Oulton Park in er... 19 "canteen?!!" My memory is slipping. '62?
I went on a mates pillion on an elderly Matchless twin "all the way to Cheshire." We got there ok but broke down on the way back at Tamworth I seem to remember.
I must say that I didn't know that there was a memorial on the Island in the first place.
I agree that getting Honda and Gilera involved would be a good thing. Mind you, it was a helmet manufacturer who sponsored the Joey statue. Did Bob use a Cromwell or an Everoak.
Ah, memories eh?
