tonight but we all know there's nothing good about the future ✋ We could do with going back and I'd like to go back to here, preferably on a warm sunny evening in the late 80s when I was young and exuberant

So if you didn't know already I gave in and went back on Twitter 🤦 I've stopped doomscrolling and I've blocked and muted loads of things/people so I only see a fraction of what I used to. I'll pop over here and post the odd photo now and then but most of the stuff is gonna be back over there

There’s a lovely Protar speedway bike model on eBay but it’s very expensive!

You want a front row spot at the speedway? Rider. Fence. 2 foot gap. Piece of rope. Crowd.

I've been meaning to post these photos of my Erskine Staride JAP. Mike Erskine measured riders & fitted diamonds like a suit. This one has its rear subframe offset by 6mm. Regrettably sold!

I did post this on the ‘X’ before you transitioned… What about this beauty? I’ve never heard of a MAELY before! Your thoughts…

Spectacular Rob Jones crash photos taken by Mike Patrick at Plough Lane. The cartwheel in part 2 is the most seen of the pair, I didn't even know part 1 existed until a couple of years ago

I'm hoping we can build a little bit of a BlueSky speedway community but I've noticed that some new followers aren't real people 😠 If you're a legit fan of the uprights and I'm not following you back give me some kind of secret code word that only a fan would know and I'll follow you back

I'm pretty sure this was on the back of the booklet inside the 1974 world final audio recording on 12 inch vinyl. Kids these days with their Napster and Limewire don't know what they missed out on do they 👴
