Dean Harrison mid crash at the Southern 100, which somehow he saved, Dave Kneen took that one but I have a framed one of him from a different angle taken by Glynne Lewis which he got Dean to sign.

That's one way to remove a tyre from the rim. And is the passenger wearing jeans?

In the early 80s leathers weren't compulsory on track days

Fair enough, didn't know that. But that is a race outfit, not one used on the road so you'd think the passenger would wear race gear. Or were jeans allowed for racing at some point?

They were more like race practice days. So lots of race vehicles.

If so, lovely guy with an absolute passion for rider safety.
