Title: the old boys gathering at rom (pics)
Post by: superbikedan on January 28, 2007, 05:27 PM: another sunday morning at rom and could not believe how many old skool boys

turned up, met with ratty today and had a great time talking about the old days

when we raced together, even remembered his old nick name as animal ;D

not a lot of riding going down just drinking tea and this proves how old we are,

ratty brought his own coffee for rom to make :2funny:

so not a lot of pics of riding, just talking and drinking tea

Post by: RATTY on January 28, 2007, 09:12 PM: This site never ceases to amaze me, 2000 members makes it hard to remember everyone, and going to Rom you get to meet some of the faces and the names click. Ive seen superbike Dan on here but never clicked who he was, it turns out we raced each over all over the place for a couple of years, and had some great ding dongs, including coming first and second to each other at the old Rom track!!! and as for my other nick name, the "animal" pmsl,
Great meeting up with you again Dan, I will try an get to Rom a bit more often!!!

a little pic of the Animal in action against me an dans arcg rival mark "Sid" salisbury
