Nigel,thanks for the Bike photos.. " jellywrestler " a.k.a. " Spdya " as in Graeme "Spyda " Staples was the dulcet tones on the microphone at the event .. as mentioned on the forum recently ..
Spyda and my Nephew were racing in Sidecars back in the 1980's .. Spyda was a driver and my Nephew Matt Deverall was the swinger for Andrew Scrivener ...

Nigel, could you please do some of us with slower connections a favour please? If you restrict the number of photos in each post to about 4 or 5 we can get to see them, otherwise it stalls the site. Ray had to do the same and all is well with his. I don't want to miss any of your great photos :)
