Xmas trivia

[jerry]

VMX page 61 Bad Brad's column. See the photo and name the riders of the 3 RN's......... Merry xmas Jerry NB: colour of the plates should be a hint!

[jerry]

Plenty of people looking..... not much guessing though!

[GMC]

I'm trying to avoid pulling out my VMX mags at the moment.
Everytime I get them out to look up a particular article I end up re-reading every other article that takes my interest.
Too easy to waste a day that I can't afford this time of year.

Stab in the dark, I thought RN's were the big bores so I will guess Decoster, Roberts as 2 of them!!

[jerry]

Decoster is #8 what about the others? Come on Geoff you know you want to do it!!!!

[TM BILL]

Decoster , Gebeors , Robert ?

Robert surely? Joel never rode the RN he rode the RH (unless in the Belgium championship).

[TM BILL]

Joel often rode the RN as well as the RH  Roger rode the RH as well as the RN   Or perhaps Belgium sent B teams to the MX and Trophee des nations 

Unlike the soft cock nannas today these guys raced several times a week in the summer in Europe . Joel would race two meetings simultainiously comuting in the promoters helicopter.

In the off season they would race in the trans AMA and even out this side of the world.

Did they ever get to SA Tim ?

Just because their titles are capacity specific dont mean they didn't race other capacites 

[TooFastTim]

Whoa big boy....

I suggested Joel may have ridden an RN in the Belgium championship. Maybe I should have included the non- championship internationals in that?

No, Joel never made it SA but Joel was a mate of my dads. Harry was a regular in SA, Don Rickman, Malcolm Davies were regulars in Zambia and I know Joel "raced" in Zaire/Congo (delete whichever is not applicable this year).

[TM BILL]

I dont think at 5'11" and 12 and a bit stone i could be considered a big boy  I bow to your obviously superior Knowledge of the history of the sport  perhaps you could enlighten a nosey amatuer as to who the other two riders in the other riders are in the original question 

[TooFastTim]

Hang on here Bill I'm not being or at least not trying to be confrontational.

If I could see the pic I'd hazard a guess but I haven't, in spite of looking, seen a copy yet. I simply threw up a suggestion which you, quite rightly, disputed. I yield on that point.

[jerry]

Their christian names are Rich and Mike!

[TM BILL]

Rich Thorwaldson and Mike Runyard ?

[Davey Crocket]

You could be right big boy!!

[jerry]

Correctamundo TM. Now can you name the next 2 Suzuki USA works riders after they bounced Rich and Mike?
Cheers Jerry

[TM BILL]

Tony Distefeno and Billy Grossi ?
