Bored, no, many of us knew Dave too and rode with him plenty. I did many trackdays with the big fella, Bigyin knew him well too.Ssray wrote: Sat Dec 26, 2020 10:31 am No pics, you wouldn't

Re: Hello from the other side
No mate, I saw Chris at FWR last summer iirc but he has left late summer this year and set up not far away in a similar business with Ben Cope formerly the old boss at Visordown called Two TyresSsray wrote: Sat Dec 26, 2020 10:56 am I looked after his flat in Hoxton for the 3 years him and mad were in aus, used to track day with him and was his official mechanic when he raced, is Chris still at fwr?
Bob is still running FWR but now has a racing mate Matt running the office on day to day basis
