racer 6 Report post 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 1 gemballa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
