Hi Sam, long time no see.

Hi guys, I'm not sure if anyone will remember me as I've been AOL for such a long time.
I've not posted since October 2012 and a lot has happened in that time and sadly most of it not for the better.
Being a night worker, I tended to post more on the SOHC4.net board as most on there were still awake and could chat with me  through the night.
I guess I have a lot of catching up to do so if anyone remembers me and would like to chat, you can post it on here.
For any newbies that might be wondering about my user name and why I posted this here, I was once involved with a guy who I built a CR750 rep for.
My own later escapades were on a CB750 drag bike that I raced in the states.
I'll post a couple of pics of the bikes.
Thanks for listening.

Sam. ;)

Hi Sam - welcome back mate and hope you’re well.

Sooo, what have you been up to then?

Hi James and Steve, I didn't move out there but did spend more time racing there and in Finland than I did in the UK.
I packed in working for a living in September 2013 and went racing full time. With my OAP as a back up, I guess I was a semi pro racer. hahaha.
I did well at the back end of 13 and decided to do a full season at the biggest event in the States, the Manufacturers Cup event which only meant traveling there and back 4 times.
At the Spring event in 14, I placed well in the Championship with a couple of wins at Valdosta in south Georgia.
The next event was in Virginia in June but a few weeks before leaving, I was asked to set a new British Land Speed Record on an Electric bike which I managed to do at just over 100 mph, it was only a production bike as the bike I should have rode, a 185 mph race bike didn't turn up on time.
Off I went to Virginia and in free practice the day before the event, I had a low speed high side and ended up in hospital for 3 weeks.
That was the end of my racing career which had lasted just short of 50 years.
I'm OK now but a little brain damaged but it only affects my short term memory, as long as I keep taking the pills, hahaha.
Hope you guys are well James and Steve.

Sam. ;)

Hi Sam - I only joined about the time of your last post but I'm in the process of building a road going CR rep and I'm just down the road from you in Wigan
Sounds like you have had an eventful few years - good to have you back
Phil
