@laura_woodsy Brilliant. 👍

@UprightSpeedway I have a video in the loft of the World of Sports highlights of the 1984 Intercontinental final from Vojens. He won and I remember the floodlights travelling around anything shiny on the bikes, including the front rim. Mesmerising.
That front rim instantly reminded me of it. 👌

@Christaylo51370 @UprightSpeedway Wolverhampton. Summer practice. I think they were Tuesday nights in the summer or Sundays in the winter.

Enjoying your review of classic helmets mr @UprightSpeedway This was me wearing my loved MDS, Arai style! I only remember 2 riders having one . Me and Jimmy Nilsen the other!😃
I loved that helmet but struggled to get the sheep shit off it after junior Grasstrack meetings!

@Sizeablejohn @UprightSpeedway He was a sponsor of a few Coventry riders in the late 80’s early, 90’s.
Tatum, Hackett, Miller, Wilson and Rob Homer.
He also told me that if I forced my way into the Juniors he would help me out a little bit after I wrote him a letter.
He stuck to his word. ❤️

@UprightSpeedway It was my pride and joy!

@UprightSpeedway I don’t know what it is about the side of a Speedway bike when viewed from the back but it’s captivating to me.
It maybe because it’s the view I had as a young kid hanging over the away end wall of the old Brandon pits.
The miss that feeling. 🥺

@UprightSpeedway They don’t do it like that anymore unfortunately.

@UprightSpeedway Thank you for all the content. Brilliant.

[Lee Coleman @LJC123]

@hansharald_66 @UprightSpeedway Yes I think so.

[Lee Coleman @LJC123]

@UprightSpeedway I always think 1983 was when there was a shift in the riders and the bikes looking more professional. It was also when the handle bars started to drop from the ‘cow horn’ look to being set lower down.
Having said that, his bikes always looked superb before my ‘83 watershed!

[Lee Coleman @LJC123]

@UprightSpeedway Bit of grip on that start by the looks of it.
Olsen majestic. 👌

@Stephen78857051 I cleaned that bike many times that summer during the school holidays.
He also gave me the helmet and leathers to help me start off.
Good times.

@UprightSpeedway I agree. I wanted this colour scheme when I was a young junior but it was more affordable to go the popular blue. Bo Petersen also went black and gold for a while too which triggered my desire! Later in life I finally did it when participating in the veteran scene. ☺️

@UprightSpeedway If you look carefully, you can spot some metal on that sprocket!

Just occurred to me that if @LCFC get relegated this year, we maybe one of very few clubs (if not the one) who have participated in 6 leagues in the last 10 years!
Premier League
Champions League
Europa League
Europa Conference League
Championship
League One possibly. 🤦🏻

@AkirasanUK @SpeedwayLions Do you know something then?

@MayaJama This sort of platform gives the spineless power unfortunately.
