The one that springs to mind for me was......










Me vs my mate Jay at the 2001 Lindum Colonia GP...I had a 50cc Speedfight, he had a 50cc Aerox...our battle went right down to the wire round Riseholme Road roundabout...shame he couldnt keep up and I took the chequered flag on Longdales Road, definitely my proudest moment as a rider :thumbup: :lol:

I remember when mopeds did 45mph on the straight and 55mph downhill with the wind behind you. Some even did 60mph. Most dangerous thing they ever did was restrict mopeds.

That's the race I was talking about on the last page, brilliant racing. Just hope the Ducati can be made competitive enough to get this close again. :thumbup:
