I think its not Mad John, I cant find anything on the net about it.

I bet Mad John aint far off 38. I thought he was older than me.

Post by: AJWD on February 28, 2008, 01:54 PM: He was a mate of mine from Drakes Broughton, near Worcester. Used to race at alot of the tracks around there, in fact he bought the white CW Cruiser, which Sid Salisbury tested in BMX Monthly (or whatever the big mag was called) and his Mum used to race it!

Good mate from my childhood who I hadn't seen for many years, but it's bought back memories of a great period in my life.

If anybodys got pics of PKs they can put up, I know he would have been really impressed to see them.

Cheers for the comments fellas (not the Duran Duran one!!!)

Adey.

Post by: AJWD on February 28, 2008, 02:56 PM: I was joking fella! He was king of the mods too, so would have found that hilarious.

Pics of PKs please!
