That's okay Pikey 21 years at the racing job was to long, together with sponsoring funding and providing machines for a very young Bob Heath, Charlie Williams, and Des Founds/Jim Craig on sidecars was a bonus.

You know better than anyone why I have an axe to grind and am bitter over two in particular unfit/injured riders being allowed to race by officials and the gut wrenching distress of being with the wives and children left behind.

You know the two riders and our close personal friends who I refer to and we will never forget them. It would have been far worse for me if one of them had been on one of my machines.

No personal offence taken by the posting we all have our hero's and Robert Dunlop appears to be one of their's and deserves to be so.
