Oh all right..my dad was Malcolms mechanic on the GP's in '72'ish. The press played Malcolm and Bryan as arch enemies and they played up to the press. Once even resorting to fisticuffs in the paddock. But Malcolm, Bryan, my dad and a few others used to train together on wednesday evenings and went for drinkipoos afterwards.

There, happy now?

The suzuki Factory should have mounted Bryan Wade on a new Suzuki, I feel that history would have been different. Joel Roberts and Bryan Wade team

I may be wrong but "Brad Lackey" may be 'Gassin Gaylon Mosier

It is Gaylon Mosier....The hair's a bit shorter than what I remember but it's certainly him.
I took the shot below of Billy Grossi at the Dick Mann meeting at Sandhill Ranch in the early 90's. He won nearly every race he went in if his shitbox Husky lasted.  He had some good dices with Lackey and Ron Pomeroy, Jims fast brother. I got on the piss with Sugarbear and his cool hippy Santa Cruz mates after the races and found him to be a really nice bloke. He invited me back to his house to check out his bike and hot rod collection but I had to give it a miss due to prior plans. He had a huge crash at a vintage race and badly broke his leg in the mid 90s and I don't think he races any more.

Sorry. GD66 is correct – Sometime Scrambler.

I simply read the name on the disc cover forgetting that the disc had 3 movies on it. Too little research as usual, whoops!!  :o

shaking Bryan wade hand, if l had the opportunity yes, but what l am saying bryan wade was a brilliant rider and if he had better machines like joel roberts, history may have went a different direction.

"The suzuki Factory should have mounted Bryan Wade on a new Suzuki."

"Don't you think just shaking his hand would have been enough David?"

Geoff and Stan, what is going on, am l not explaning myself properly. l feel tension in the air.

Sorry David it was my very poor attempt at humour.
Don't you remember the one about the little old lady who had her pair of pet monkey's run over and killed. Because she couldn't bear to live without them she took the their bodies to the Taxademist who inspected them and said he could do some thing very nice with them for her.
He then asked her if she wanted them mounted, horrified she replies "no just holding hands would be nice" ;D ;D ;D.

Sorry for the misunderstanding and regards Stan.
