Title: met an old racer today
Post by: rollin72 on April 23, 2014, 04:39 PM
ive just come back from our local market, the stall I went to I noticed a pull-out from a magazine on the floor of some old racing shots, I got talking to the stall holder.asked him about the pics and he told me it was him in one of the shots. His name is Mike Brown from Wigan and he was sponsored by Halfords and Mongoose. His mate who is a collector has his old Pro Class race bike. Really nice chap and he's going to dig out some of his old memorabilia..Does anybody remember him?

Never met him or anything but i seem to recall the name from the Mags, used to do well in the older Cruiser class (17-35) i think?  im sure someone will find him in the mags probably pre 85
