Jim Pomeroy was a true gentleman , i couldn't believe how humble he was and he seemed genuinely shocked that all these people this side of the world knew who he was and of his achievements .
As you blokes said already his smmoth style and the fact that he absolutley loved riding a true hero in every sense of the word
Ole bad Brad was there too
and milking it as only Brad can do
but some of the CD3 highlights were racing Tanner to the Sat dinner in mine and Bazzas rented Getzs , winning the CD3 quiz with team mates Bazza , Tanner, Bernie and Jonsey (Firko was one of the quiz masters )
Buying that RM 125S then remembering "shit were in a different country " stripping it and packing it into holdalls to take home
I was reshuffling the bags at the airport when i couldn't find the side panels
i said to Vale "wheres those side panels " turned out she had biffed them out with the shitty gaurds at the motel
. She was quickly dispatched in a taxi back to get the panels while i convinced the check in it was all sporting equipment
Luckily the panels and Vale got back in time
we had not been going out that long then a a disaster like throwing away rare side panels could have buggered up what has become a great relationship
Im i gentleman so i paid half the taxi fare
CD 7 was a pearler , the birth of the factory TS 185
Good kiwi contingent
Joan , Brad and crew enjoyed my lamb chop sandwiches
and got to ride Jonesys Weslake Metisse , witch led to me buying my own B50 Metisse
