Different people put different values on these things, personally I think they are just worthless pieces of junk. I know they are very hard to come by, but they just clutter up the place.

Twenty years ago when I finished racing I gave away a load of silver and bronze replicas together with I don't know how many finishers plaques and other stuff.

Two tea chests of minor stuff such as from the Southern and short circuits and endurance racing went to the tip. I was glad to see the back of them.

Same with the junk from competing horses I put over 400 1st place trophies and rosettes in bin bags and threw them in the back of the bin waggon.

I won the the Ballymoney Lord Mayors show vintage car best in show cup last year, a huge silver thing, I am sick to death of cleaning it, I will be glad when May comes round and I have to give it back to the Council.

I just enjoyed preparing the bikes and the competing and having the good friends in and associated with the sport.
