Can anyone help us please.

We have been asked "Who was the Tall dark-haired Danish TT Rider from the 1970s...?"

We cannot remember...Can anyone help us please

His first name was Gerald or Gerry or Gerd or Gert...

Recognise that ??

Could it be Bo Granath ?

I thought he was Swedish?

Mike

True Mike -- and he certainly wasn't tall!!!

So?
Any answers to this one?

I have starined my old brain, but no luck.

Where IS Elwyn when you need him?

Hi Helen, trying to sort out my impending divorce at the moment.Funny how she never showed a bit of interest in the stuff but all of a sudden I have a letter from her solicitor saying she owns half of it! If it was any other subject I'd tear the photos etc in half but don't really fancy doing that to the signed Hailwood photos etc.
Tall Danes? A name doesn't spring to mind. The only Dane of note in the YY was Sorensen but a long time ago.I will have a look at the programmes if the date was narrowed down a bit.I wonder if he means a Swede by any chance?

I have looked at the programmes from 1970 to 1976 & there are no Danish riders listed, but doesn't mean there wasn't any.Another suggestion could it be Helmut Dahne the tall German BMW rider?

I have to say that the german came to mind for me, when the question was raised.
Its interesting that none of us can remember a dane from the period

A name like G SOBRAL is one put forward...Has he ridden in t' TT RACES OR the ManxGP.....

I have money on this, so please help !!

Do'nt think it is who you are looking for but there was a Herman Soubral in the 1976 junior TT on a Yamaha.Otherwise name not listed in either TT or MGP records.

Yes, I checked those too, and nothing resembling it. Can't think of any Danes except Dane Rowe....wish i could track her down!

Lives in Switzerland with the CAT man, Helen!!
