isnt much left of the old track so more a trip down memory lane and a look at what happens when you turn you back on the sport :'(
from here we will carry on our journey to the site of the original Alans Bmx shop . Again a trip down memory lane for anyone who owns a Torker or Robinson as all these bikes were imported into the country by Alan bitd and built up by his father .from here a nice easy cruise back into Wigan via yet another skate park ..
As with all RAD meets it goes with out saying we will be stopping at all the watering holes en route , and Joff will get every bit of skirt to sit apon his seat :LolLolLolLol:
With M.K. only round the corner this is more a nice easy gathering of old school lads cruising around some cool bmx sites talking bmx bollox , and you just never know who may join us on the way ::) ??????? ha ha now Carl has let the cat out the bag :LolLolLolLol: we will be trying to get as many of the old Robinson and Torker team to join us at sum point of the day , along with possibly a few other local well know riders . would be great RADSTERS if we could get as many ROBINSONS and TORKERS back home in WIGAN for the day :)

It goes back to a miners strike when the miners from Wigan gave up the strike before the hardmen from St Helens and were therefore made to eat 'humble pie' ;)
That's one of the reasons there is such a big rivalry when it comes to Rugby between the two towns aswell :daumenhoch:
or it could be what Gaz said , makes more sense to me :D ;D Had a few run ins with the women in Wigan and i wouldn't mess , got close to one once and i could still taste the pastry in my mouth a week later ::)

I can't wait for this ride, it's the first thing I've done since having a full hip replacement a few months back. So if at some point I keel over you'll know why :D
Also I'll be riding an 84 super tough burner so go easy on me. I've not got my childhood bike yet, a Diamondback Silverstreak 11 funnily enough I bought it from alans dads shop. I turned down a torker 280 x because I didn't like the twin tubes :uglystupid2:
See you there boys :coolsmiley:

We had a great time at Radtor, the sun was out all day, great bunch of friendly riders again.. :daumenhoch:
Fantastic to be in the company of so many Pro riders, actually the first person I spoke to was Scott Williams and seeing I was on a Black GT Pro Nora Cup he was made up and the conversations about his time racing was really good, pictures of his bikes from BITD and the present collection..... :smitten:
Obviously to see Scott take the GT for a spin around Ally park tarmac was great and I hope it brought back some very happy memories for Scott :coolsmiley:
We won some priceless stuff from Alan Woods,we have some brilliant Torker information, a Mirage plate, original 80's Artwork drawings for GT and Mirage ....brilliant ;)
To see Carls Robinson collection in Alans took me right back to the old shop days, my most memorable point was when I was carrying my daughters Robinson up the stairs in the shop and Alan just beamed the broadest smiled at us, Alan sold this bike to my mate from the Hindley shop 31 years ago......Thats Nostalgia right there :daumenhoch:
Carl your the Diamond mate and all those Robinsons are a wealth for us all... :daumenhoch: ....
What about that Rave...... ??? my gooooddd that was a bit of a wild bunch
Big thanks to Lenny and Carl for putting that together, do I hear there's another for later in the summer for Wigan.........go on you know we'll be there..... :smitten:
-
