Nah wasn't doing that at all... just humorous pointing out a riders mentality (which I have!)

Nice one(s), Eric!  :thumbup:


Many years ago, Cadwell Park, Lincolnshire.......

My first day as a Flag Marshal........

My first "bit of excitement"......

The first words, of a green faced, high sided rider. Just after opening his good eye.........   :palm:

Didn't know you did flag marshall. I never have. Now, swmbo has. She did some volunteer work for Keith Code (of twist of the wrist fame) on the flags.

Been down more times than I like to think of.

One day I will get on the track. I have a track bike I am aquiring parts for.

I said similar things every time I crashed the race car - the marshal comes running over to see how you are "I'm fine, hows the car???"

David - I've raced a few times at Cadwell park (tintops, not motorbikes, you've got to be some shade of crazy to go round there on a bike), it's easily my 2nd favourite track, only narrowly pipped by Oulton Park. The Gooseneck and Mountain are probably the best bits, Hairpin is quite entertaining too, as I usually arrive at it sideways... Happy days, we didn't go there this year unfortunately, hopefully it'll be back on the calendar next year.

Ade.
I was a member of Batley Motorcycle Club during '60,s & 70's.

Loved Cadwell. Never raced.
But thoroughly enjoyed several rides out to Marshal position, on my Bonnie, and later,  Lightning.......  :thumbup:

Ahh Cadwell, that brings back memories, mainly of A&E at Louth Hospital.

I was that well known there, I used to get Christmas cards and knew all the nurses by the first name.
My one regret was that I have very few decent photo's of that time when racing, mainly because no one took pictures of the St John ambulances   :lol:

Prescott hill climb 1969, me in the chair, the white on my shoulder is off the wall on the last corner. Sidecar drivers always think they are riding solo  :loco:

I had no idea you were an Organ Donor John, you kept that quiet when I visited you. Mind you, if you spent most of your time looking at the underside of an ambulance roof, I can perhaps understand that... :coffee:
