Hi Dick, I had the pleasure of working with you and Stuart back in the days when 3 wheels became 4 and we ventured into the world of Cosworths and RS Turbo's. Hope you are all well. What happened to Paul and Simon, did they not get the bug to follow your footsteps. Would be nice to hear from you and the lads. Diddy

Hi Shirley, how are you? Back to Scantlebury???I keep an eye on this site, do you? Would be nice to here from you. and hi to John Willmore, yes of course I remember you John, how is Aus treating you?

Hi Malc, have been off line for a while, good to hear from you. Yes back to Scantlebury for the last year-long story. Live with Mum back at Cassel Ave. Mum is in poor health, not bad for 83 though. Jill and I had a great time at Mallory in October, but only ones I remembered were Dick Hawes and poor Roy Hanks. Mick popped up on the Sunday and said hello. Hows life treating you?

Hi Dick, I used to go out with Malcolm in the seventies and my job was bike and visor cleaner. Have really missed all those days, but looking forward to the Sidecar Festival at Mallory this year, hope to see you there

Hi Dick, We stonden in Weiswampach (luxemburg) naast jullie met de camper op de camping,We hebben leuk gebabbelt over de zijspan en over de TT in Assen en over Egbert Streuer. Ik heb je mooie site bekeken, mijn complimenten. We wensen jij en je vrouw veel geluk gezondheid toe. Wie weet treffen we ons elkaar nog eens met de camper waar dan ook maar. De hartelijke groetjes van André en Wilma uit Assen Holland

My dad new Fritz Scheidegger I remember as a little girl going to watch him race and be in the pit lane with him and my dad chatting in Swiss German - my father was a motor mechanic, I would sit on his sidecar and ask if I could be his passenger when I grew up - remeber seeing the report of his death at Mallory on the news - we were suppose to be meeting up with him the next day - very sad

Hello,

I had a Dieter Busch chassis but all brake discs are broken.

I can't find the origin of these discs, what bike ?

Perhaps somebody know the Dieter's email ?

Best regards

Amazing history of an amazing racer and a true Gent ...

Nice site uncle Rich can't believe I havent seen it before, some superb info in here

Dick, So glad I found this website. I am now a 44 yr old who grew up from 3 year old, with my Dad at Mallory, Oulton, Darley Moor etc..Its TT time & we were remembering the old days. Dad..still alive & 70 this year, used to park us up on the 'real' Knickerbrook, or Lake Essse's at 8.00 in the morning..whatever the weather..still doing it today athough not quite so early. But after the big name solos of the day were done, we always enthralled at what I still perceive today to be the bravest guys.

Dear friends,

Hi Tony Birch, your e-mail address bounces back?

sorry e mail is tonybirch66@yahoo,com

The 1978 sidecar race was held in heavy rain, Alain Michel won and Rolf Biland was second in the BEO with Kenny Williams in the chair.

It was a good day for the Brits with Jock Taylor 3rd, Bill Hodgkins 4th, George O'Dell 5th and Mick Boddice 6th.

Dick and Gordon Russell finished 8th.

Happy Birthday Richard.

I enjoyed reading this and like you thought that worms were the end as has proved to be the

case.I go back to the "Hang out the front days" when I used to "monkey" for Des Founds on a Rumble outfit. I am glad to see the outfits still get a go in classic racing.

Great read for us across the pond. I love seeing pictures of the tz outfits. We raced one to a national title here in the states but they were few and far between. You folks had a corner on the market!!!

Brilliant, good to read about the old times.

Hi Duncan

No I've not seen or heard from Mick since meeting him at Julian Soper's shop in Leigh-on -Sea sometime back in the 80's. Do you see him often? If so send him my best regards. Thanks

Hi Malcolm,

See Mick every month or so, I will pass on your regards to him, have a good 2010

Hi Dick

Just found your web-site, it's nice to see you are still involved in the sport! I presently run a Race Team with my children in Kart Races. Hope to meet again some day

Malcolm, how are you doing? About 30 years since I last saw you..hope all is well. Do you keep in touch with Mick?

Hi Dick

I have watched you over the years and it has to be said that you and your outfit have always been very impressive.The Yamaha in particular was immaculate.

As a question Dick, are you going to ride in The Classic Bikers Weekend at Spa in June?

If you are I will make a point of introducing myself to you.Thanks for your time.

Hello Dick

For the truth of the History, I inform you that the Great Dieter Busch made an outfit for the Vannest brothers in 1978 with a Suzuki RG500 engine.

I should say that Dieter is a shining star in the darkness of the life: with the exception of my two sons, he is the best man I ever met.

Yours faithfully

Hi Dick, Have just found your site and enjoy seeing yourself but also seeing old vidios of Clyde and myself racing with you in Scarborough

Regards Peter

Hello Dick, I´m a motorsportfan and collector of autographs from racing drivers, but I´m havent´t your autograph in my collection. Please can you tell me your contactaddress? Thank you and kindest regards, a fan from Germany - Rolf (doc.rolf@web.de).

Hello Richard,

I think that guestbook is a better solution than an email box full of spam :-).
