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
Bigyin speaks to the lads at FWR more than most, so he'll know the answer.

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 Tyres
Bob is still running FWR but now has a racing mate Matt running the office on day to day basis
