What delightful photos! Some old guys just don't know when to give up. By the way, I had a good laugh getting the flying helmet through scrutineering!! I worked on the theory that nobody else's helmet was legal, so if they were going to refuse mine, they'd be refusing 'em all!!


- thewitch - 10-01-2008

Suits you, sir!


- cargo - 11-01-2008

Old :shock: just who are you calling old :shock:

I'll have you know that there are far older than me still racing some are even collecting their pensions and travelling on free bus and train passes.

Ah I see you've included him now

BTW Upsetting me can be very dangerous at anytime you are about 3 clicks away from being zapped :wink:

:idea:

Can you send me a high res copy of that pic please :?:

The lack of beer has my mind (devious) working overtime

Would anyone care to list these gentlemen (sic) on order of their age :?:
Oldest first of course :wink:


- thewitch - 11-01-2008

I wouldn't dare... value my life too much! :wink:


- MV - 11-01-2008

What super pics!

I hope somebody does name them as I am not sure of all of them!

Of c ourse, I recognise the usual suspects!


- thewitch - 11-01-2008

Hmph... they are all suspects... guilty until proven innocent! :roll:
129 Cargo
65 Steve Linsdell
Nick Jefferies
110 Kevin "Ago" Murphy
59 Barry Wood
41 Larry Devlin
The numbers do not relate to their ages as there's no way Larry's 41!! Lol


- cargo - 11-01-2008

Ok then MV and this is NOT in order of age at all

Me :shock:

Steve Linsdell on a two stroke :shock: in a TT race :shock: :shock:

Some dodgy fellow called Nick Jefferies..........stay well away from him

Ago (the Irish one)

The IOMs fastest taxi driver Barry Wood

And last but by no means least Larry Devlin and for once he NOT on a BMW. It's Malcloms Ducati and very lovely it looks too

Larry, Nick, Kevin, Steve, Barry and finally, the very youthful Cargo... Big Grin


- cargo - 11-01-2008

very near


- MV - 12-01-2008

My answer is that if they all still get their leg over..... a bike
then they are all the same age!
The one I didnt recognise was Steve L.
Spotted the others!


- cargo - 12-01-2008

I have to say that it's nice to be in a photo gallery with such a talented bunch.

Sticky I think your age list is about right except I suspect that I may be a little older than Barry.

I'm too lazy to hunt out a MGP Whos Who to check.

....and too lazy to correct the Manx Ultra-Lightweight results for the 2007 race! :wink:


- Barry Wood - 12-01-2008

I'm 44 and delighted to suggest that I may be the youngest person pictured!
Not the fastest taxi driver though Cargo. Milky Quayle is on the taxis over here too Sad
By the way, Larry, I was disappointed to see you weren't displaying your "Holiday Racer" stickers on this occasion. Are you starting to take it seriously these days? Lol Lol


- larryd - 12-01-2008

Gave them to Cargo for the Manx, Barry.

begger never gave 'em back :!: :!:

Reckon you're right about being the youngest - I can remember a "TT Special" photo of you and Kevin having collected money for Donal Hughes, who'd had a practice disaster with his 'Macchi in, I think, 1977.

What a lovely-looking pair of kiddies you were :!: :!: :!:

What happened :?: :?: :?:

Seems I was right Big Grin
