I'll see how I go.

Frankie Chili, John Reynolds, Neil "I'm not retired" Hodgson, Robbie "Mr Superbike" Phillis, Fabrizio Pirovano, Peter Goddard, Fred Merkel, Aaron "Bridemaid" Slight and I dunno bout the last guy, maybe Terry Rymer? I think that's pretty close.

farkin good effort, more points for the "im not retired" :lol: :lol: . last one is piergeorgio bontempi (sorry if i spely his first name incorrectly). he rode the bertocci kawasaki for years :wink:

how good does pirovano look, in his mid 40's and still looking like he did in the halcyon days of wsb.

Yeah, Bontempi was a top privateer. And I think Pirovano still races and maybe Merkel too, or at least recently retired.

The funniest thing is that Slight chucked the borrowed Honda he was riding whilst waving to the crowd and nearly took out Merkel riding his old Rumi RC30 as well! Oops. Just a little embarrassing.
