Speedway Rider

Description

1973 and a very young (and stupid) guy with a passion for motor bikes tries his hand at speedway riding. Only amateur, and most times last.... in reality I was too tall, started the sport about 10 years too late - AND was far too cautious!!
Still - I rode the powerful 500cc single cylinder machine (direct drive via a clutch and NO breaks!) for about 9 months on a dirt oval track with wooden boards surrounding... That is me nearest the camera - and the shot was taken (and given to me) by Phil O'dell... Yes, I am older now, but often just as stupid and not always as cautious... ;-)
