Other information, anecdotes etc.

We had one during the winter of 1993. It belonged to Ian Suttle and was an MZ, maybe 250 cc but I'm not sure. He rode it between platforms once if I remember correctly. [15 January 2006]

Shaun Burkey recalls a skidoo prang:

I remember one night when I went out to look for Mike Lawton, after I'd drunk . . . . . . . , contrast was very bad, and I managed to drive down the hole that was the entrance ramp to the temporary accomodation for the summer build crew. I fell about 4 foot and hit the opposite wall at quite a speed and managed to head-butt the handlebars / screen and bit through my bottom lip, ended up in the surgery in hysterics with Les Whittamore (BC) standing over me tutting a lot. Happy Days! [13 June 2006]
