I wasnt there, still recovering from injuries from the last Viper Round, but a mildly intoxicated spectator sitting in Bay 13 at the Knox Club Cricket Ground reckons it was the 2nd best hip & shoulder he'd ever seen, Dermot Brereton would have been proud, all taken in good fun apparently.
On a serious note, some really bad news prior to the last Viper round at Blue Rock, young Jack Gorman asked me if he could ride my 490 Maico. Jack being a talented young rider & a great kid, of course I said go for it Jack. Seen Jack limping real bad before he went out for practice & I asked him what was wrong with his foot, he said it's ok, had it for ages, dr's are looking at it, get the results back next week, well Jack rode the bike awesome showed what a fast kid can do on a Maico, the bad part is, Jack's right foot was amputated on Tuesday afternoon, f ## n Cancer. Jack is in St Vincents hospital, I spoke with him today on the phone, feeling down but desperate to ride as soon as they can get him setup with a right foot. Life Sucks sometimes.
