From what I read on Full Noise, fast in practice, crashed in first turn in first race and DNF, and the meeting was abandoned due to torrential rain...

I'll bite...who the f**k is Billy Mackenzie? I played against a pretty tough Canadian born front rower who played for Gordon a few years ago named Billy Mackenzie....surely it's not the same bloke?  ::) The prick bit me once and copped a nice little uppercut for his trouble. ;D

Very fast Scottish rider.

Wraps up a British title at Hawkstone Park in '08, then busts out a '98 CR500 to take on the 450s in the second moto.



Poor thing only lasted 5 laps before he rattled it to bits.  Got up to fifth place though.

I was being a bit cheeky...I knew who Billy was, I was trying to wind a Scottish mate up but he didn't go for it. The part about jobbing the other Billy is true though!

I like the sound of that. I'd heard of him through british mags but not that particular story. Sounds like someone with a personality rather than the usual corporate drone.

It'll be interesting to see how he goes, he won't have it all his own way with the speed of some of the young guys.
I watched him on sunday but unfortunately he went down in the first turn while in 3rd and dnf'd. Dean Ferris was absolutely flying and would've been hard to beat.
