I met Bill at a sidecar talk I gave last month, and he's kindly shared some photos with me from his time racing, and from his collection. I thought the rest of you may enjoy these to.

I'm wondering if 'Dick Creasley' may be Dick Greasley?

Hi InkyAnn, I may be wrong but I think the photo marked unknown is Terry Viddecombe at Gingerhall in the 1970s

Dave, I think you mean Terry Vinicombe, that will be John Flaxman, sadly no longer with us in the sidecar I think???

Your right Dave,I think the outfit, the Kirby BSA belongs to RP on here? There's a pic of it on the header on Steves front page, No60.

Hi all - back in the land of the living (I think, it's a long story) but you are all correct on the Kirby BSA which is photographed at the 1967 TT where Terry & John finished 6th on a 500cc BSA A50 powered outfit behind 5 BMW's. Yes we still own the outfit which is currently in the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu. http://www.nationalmotormuseum.org.uk/L ... tem_id=395
