Easter brings back happy motorcycling memories: firstly the MCC Land’s End Trial which I ride in during the 70s, first with Velo-rider Geoff Blanthorn, then with Del and Pete Winchester from the Saltbox Club, and latterly with Benji Straw and Paul Evans on a trio of Morini Camels

From Maynard Hershon "Bill, I just finished M/Cs, Mates and Memories. I laughed out loud, I nearly cried, I felt I'd had a long conversation with a UK friend who told me stories about a life in motorcycling. It was just as you intended it to be. Thank you so much.
I have copies,

Wishing Ivan Lintin all the best. I was (briefly) his brolly dolly at the start of the 2008 Newcomers Manx @ManxGrandPrix , I think his mechanic was suffering pre-race nerves! I flagged off Ivan that day, I was number 1 in the first Newcomers of 1978.
