cheeky boy Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Wish I'd taken out a ten quid bet in 1970 on him living till 2007 Could have won enough to buy a motorbike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Peters Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 He was a childhood hero of mine too - and I actually got to meet him a dozen or so years ago in London. He was the 'surprise' guest at a conference I was producing (IIRC at the Hilton on Park Lane), although when he started the Harley a minute before his appearance the game was pretty much up... He certainly exuded an aura of being someone special, although most of his big spectaculars were a bit of a disaster if truth be told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyboarder Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I thought his act was tedious to say the least, overcamped nonsense of the highest order - I always half expected him to come out every time he came out, a sort of Elton John of Bus Jumping. (over that is, not in, lol,lol........... ; ) What an idiot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
