Title: The man behind Jam Butties, TT Racing has died...
Post by: sid1972 on April 13, 2012, 07:41 PM

Just had a message from my Dad, to say Tom 81 passed away  :'( :'(

I have known him since a was about 8 or 9 and he is a legend in my opinion for all the things he did for BMX and me.

 :Great_Britain: :Great_Britain:

I took this last year in his garden at home.

RIP Tom. Him and the family were a big part of the old East Mids scene. Remember the weird looking TTRP 90 degree cranks? Engineering thought out of the box.

Won't be forgotten.  :)
