Not strictly greeves related, but defo worth a mention.
The mortimer club hosted the 2015 motocross des nations, which was held on sat 5th at bennets hill, & was an event to remember.
The racing itself was electric & any true motocross fan, had to stand in total admiration of the pace these top guys set........
If this was not enough, at the interval we were given the opportunity to watch some of the legends of yesteryear getting back out on the track for a good few laps of nostalgia.
Being mobbed on the start line would not be an exageration, these guys were very popular & probably the last chance anyone is going to get to see all these great names on a track together again.
Jeff smith, don & derick rickman, triss sharp, bill gwynne, john giles, dave curtis, & others all in there eighties or close to it, giving the large crowds a real treat.
The famous number 4, jeff smith getting loud on the goldie, bill gwynne with don rickman following, & john giles, ex triumph works rider throwing up some dust.... & a pic from the start line.
Sorry about the angle of the last two pics, can`t sort it...... well done to all the english riders & get well to bryan sharp, who was due to attend, but has apparently suffered a stroke.
