Peter Green........what a talent that went to waste!
-
He was really jacked up with PEDs when he fought McClellan! And McClellan went in without training properly, weight drained, and continually blinking after the shots he sustained in the two fights with Julian Jackson.

His old man is no stranger to being on the gear!
-
As far as I know yes! After all the whole event was built around that!
-
Photos of speedos......that's conclusive for sure!

So you say Marcel! But of course you could be one of those internet bullshitters who claims to have been everywhere, seen everything, and done everything! And then can't produce a shred of evidence to verify it. Forgot their camera or phone is the usual excuse! I'm not saying you are......but that kind does exist! Tell him @Tym

I'm off out Styling and Profiling!

They'd be aiming for a mini AT I'd have thought.

Ended up living in a caravan in a mate's garden.......he lived life to the full but made some terrible business decisions apparently.

Baggage. Warning boring- I’ve even bored myself 😂

This bag acts as as a piss bottle? @Sir Fallsalot will jump at this shit! And is that an oil leak on the engine? -
Well it looks like I've only got tomorrow...... Not sure if we'll have the boys this weekend again as they're still under the weather. And now the Boxing's cancelled as well there's not a lot on the cards. What about you lot?

We've suspected that you were from another planet for many years Marcel!

Bill Ivy was the original Barry Sheene in terms of lifestyle and flamboyance! "A colourful, flamboyant character with a fearless riding style, Bill Ivy epitomised the swinging sixties. Although he was seldom out of the headlines and gained something of a reputation as a hellraiser, Ivy always produced the results on the track. The climax to his career came in 1968 in the duels he had, both on and off track, with team-mate Phil Read. Following Ivy's 125cc world championship win in 1967, the Yamaha factory decided Ivy should win both 125 and 250 crowns in 1968. Ivy persuaded Yamaha to let Read win the 125 championship. This was typical of Bill's sense of fair play. As Yamaha were likely to pull out of racing at the end of the season, Read ignored team orders in the latter part of the season and won both championships. This caused a great rift between the two riders. Yamaha did withdraw from racing for the 1969 season, only to return after Bill's death. It is noteworthy that they had said in 1969 they would like Bill Ivy to return to them. Following Bill's death, the natural choice would have been Phil Read, but they chose another rider instead. Extremely upset at Phil Read's attitude, Ivy announced his retirement and promptly decided to go Formula 2 car racing instead in 1969. Nevertheless, he did return to the GP scene in 1969, mainly to pay his way in car racing. This time, he was riding for the Jawa factory on a temperamental four cylinder 350cc two stroke. This machine was to be his last competitive ride as he was fatally injured during a wet practice session."

I never had a lot of time for him because of what he did to Bill Ivy. Neither did Yamaha!
-
Sad news.....Phil Read, 7 time world champion (83) died today. He was a controversial character, people either loved him or hated him, but no denying his ability on the track. Source!

They had to really.......it was making a mockery of the sport if it went ahead!
-
As the guy said, you wouldn't take that unless you'd been slamming loads of gear in you!
-
In the balance I reckon. This is what he took......
