racer Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Hello all, finally seen the light and re-joined the Saracen if only in cyberspace! Good to see posts from my old mates Steve Shepherd and Ian Cook. Interesting to read that Steve wants to ride a 12 hour! Next time I catch up with him I'll remind him of that post. Great to see Ian again a couple of years back, even if it was at my old work place. Currently out of the Country but when I get back it will be nice to get the bike dusted off and might even consider pinning a number on again! Anyway all the best to everyone past and present Phil Lock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Hazlewood Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Great to hear from you again Phil, and a big welcome back into the club. Get that bike dusted down and come and join up with one of our club runs. Look forward to seeing you soon. Mick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
