Have never taken part in any competitive events,used to go up too the track at Elsworth,which was always a good day out.
Used to spend the week building up bikes for the weekend,cobbling bit`s and pieces together to make 1 working bike,i was lucky in the fact that mine never broke down,well until the cam chain snapped after i had put in a new clutch,but by eck did it go until it snapped,used to have to lean right forward just to keep the front wheel down !
Only really injured myself badly once,where we had all been riding over a tree root on a long corner,i came round it and leaned too far,rear wheel slipped over the root and sent me down on my side with my leg trapped under the bike,with it still running and burning through my leg on the exhaust,couldn`t get it off myself,so just had to lay there screaming until i was rescued
