Give me a ring (862238) when you are on the Island, we won't have bikes at the exhibition so it may be unmanned we are only a few hundred yards down the road.

Thanks Bill, I remember you gave me your address when we briefly met at the website get together in 2006. Will look forward to it. Yes, Alan went to Ireland with Bob Brown in 1955 after buying bikes in England, Bob got a second and Alan fourth in the 350 but I couldn't remember which track he said but he definately said he came fourth. It was this year that he had that terrible crash at Ramsey at the TT on the 7R and ended up in Nobles for many many months. He then returned to the TT in 1958.
