Title: Any Preston Pirates On Here??
Post by: Retrodan72 on November 17, 2013, 11:23 PM
Hi lads, a pal of mine has been tweeting me recently as he's seen my bikes and hinted he may get one himself.   8)

He wanted a Team Aero Pro Burner, which is what he raced BITD, and he tweeted me this evening saying he's won a rough one he's going to resto. ;)

He went in to say that he's still got his yellow Haro race plate that he had when he raced at Preston around '85ish.

So, I wondered if anyone may remember him? His names Andrew (Andy) Owen? ???

I raced a couple of times at Preston Pirates and have the little trophies in the wardrobe still.... Think I would have been 12-13 year old then in 85.... Ask him does he know Darren and Gillian McHugh.

My mate just tweeted me with a pic of his 80's race plate, untouched for nearly 20 years.

I thought it was going to be about Andy Oldham

He rode for Raleigh and a shed load of trophies were donated to Preston pirates to be handed out at the Old school grands  about 4 years ago


I ended up with one ,, so did Diggler   :4_17_5:

I mis-read it too and thought it was going to be about "Andy Preston's Pirates"......I was assuming he'd taken to the seven seas after his career in jumping over ford escorts had dried up :D
