Tom - thanks. I always worry about saying "Hello" as everyone's usually too busy but I'll definitely try at Brands. Seeing the bikes will be worth the trip alone. Will any old riders be there? Get Vesa to bring his personal FJ11 I remember from the '84 Bol with the bottom of the frame rails worn away! As the young 'uns say - "Respect".

Thanks for your comments Roger – great stuff.
We do try to keep the site updated, as a visit to the Latest News page will show, but please don't expect too much from a site about a team that disbanded seventeen years ago!
That said, there'll be lots more news and pics after we've been to Brands Hatch on 4-5th October. We're hoping to have at least seven old Team bikes there, plus even older pit crew and riders. So watch this space, or better still, come along and say hello.

What fantastic memories. Our first trip abroad was to the '83 Bol. Darren Jones and me sat in the stand from about 9a.m. willing them round. At the end I remember running onto the track at the start of the pit straight and shouting to Howard "Where did you come?". I couldn't believe a privateer could finish that high. I can close my eyes and still remember standing on top of the pits and looking down at the team at about 3 a.m.
Wish they could have won one.
Oh - and I've still got my copy of Bike mag with the '82 Le Mans story. Can you believe it's 26 years ago? I think that it was the story of the 1.5 mile push that fired my enthusiasm for Endurance racing so, at that time having not seen a race, it was the quality of the writing that made me do it!
Could you keep the site updated please? Any more pics would be superb.
The centre spread of the '83 bike was on my wall too!
