Title: Age is no barrier.

I love this photo.
Will I be in leathers and on a bike at his age - or leaning against the bar in shorts and long socks at the RSL?

That's the legendary Dick Mann. There are few riders anywhere who have been as versatile and long serving as old Bugsy. I became friends with him back in '86 when he invited me over to the US to show me the ins and outs of setting up  vintage motocross here. He is a great example of the tough old bloke with a heart of gold. He's been very ill in recent years but can still throw an occasional leg over his beloved BSAs. A true legend.

Dick Mann? Thanks for the info; I'm aware of his legend but I had no idea it was 'The Mann' in the photo.
