Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary
Jesus how did that pass so quickly. Still some good people on here and enough to keep the account, but a shadow of how it was or could have been now.

[Roger B @19_Rog]

@DegsyGuitar @ginostravels 1981, I think? 😉

[Roger B @19_Rog]

@lolp63 @DegsyGuitar @AntonioRamosGP @simoncrafar As if by magic. Qualifying from that meeting @krcircuit , @mrsflash52 on timekeeping

[Roger B @19_Rog]

@DegsyGuitar @Ecurie_Ecosse @mr22b @mattjameswright Thanks Derek, I'll forward that on.

Blowing out the cobwebs this morning #V12VS #GT3RS #TVR

[Roger B @19_Rog]

@DegsyGuitar @astonmartinedin @astonmartin @AMR_Official @PorscheGB @Ecurie_Ecosse @mr22b @mattjameswright Yes, we were meeting another TVR there before heading down the coast.

[Roger B @19_Rog]

Those were the days @mattjameswright 😉

[Roger B @19_Rog]

@DegsyGuitar I'm not 100% sure either. But exciting times. The 350 proddy class was strong with riders who went on to world championship racing - @niallmackenzie1, Morrison, Selby, MacFarlane, Duffus, plus the champions Taylor(82), Toner(83) and Lyell(84).

[Roger B @19_Rog]

@dsceditor @dailysportscar @stephenk22 Congratulations both of you, and thanks for all your years of good work there Graham 🏅

[Roger B @19_Rog]

@AntonioRamosGP Marc Fontan in the background 😉🇨🇵

[Roger B @19_Rog]

@popsyosh34 Those carbs probably cost twice what a CBX cost back in the day (just over £1,000 when they came out) 😄

[Roger B @19_Rog]

@Ivycottagebaker @Rockstarscars I was only 13 then 😁. But I think the main prize was surviving it all. Glenn Hughes & David Coverdale did, Tommy Bolin didnt.

[Roger B @19_Rog]

@lolp63 @mozzatowers You're probably right 🙂

[Roger B @19_Rog]

@Retromania4ever Heres a good short video about the family background to that gold 250 GT

[Roger B @19_Rog]

@SteveSawford @mozzatowers Yes, very little run off there or clearways in those days. Brands, Cadwell, Bomb Hole at Snett, all were scary and claimed too many.

[Roger B @19_Rog]

@mozzatowers @FIM_EWC I think #18 is Belgian Richard Hubin, on possibly a very early incarnation of SERT Suzuki.

[Roger B @19_Rog]

@mozzatowers PS I think maybe Dave Crampton #93, Steve Veasey #77, Mark Farmer #115, Geoff Fowler #81, Paul Lewis behind him. What do you think @lolp63 ?

[Roger B @19_Rog]

@mozzatowers Yes it is, well spotted. Looks like 1988 on my GSXR1100, Darren Dixon leading from Steve Spray on RG's, Howard Selby next. Iain Duffus right behind me.
