Poor old Sheeny,could never quit the cigs.Poor circulation from smoking led to him feeling the cold,he`s wrapped up like an old granny there,rest his soul.

Ron Haslam becomes a legend on a bike he borrowed from the local honda dealer ! legend has it honda sold the entire uk allocation of vfr's in the week after this race.
