By mark forsyth on 17/12/2010 13:28:24
47 years-young and still on it...
the outright lap record that stood for a couple of years. I thought I was the mutt’s nuts. Then, I remember a lad of similar age rocking up on an old but immaculately prepared 350TZ. Like me, he and his dad turned up with the bike on a trailer. We avoided each

concocted fastest-lap contest to kick-start the year with a prize, one BMW car. The entire GP circus would pack up in Qatar to come to Spain, then pack up again to go back to Qatar. Stupid, really. Especially since they would be back in Spain in a few weeks
