  3. Excellent news...compare that with the toe rag Allen duffus or whatever his name is...hope the sentence fits the crime

    Nice one for Ryan very unexpected...didn’t one of his mates or riders get killed on one of his bikes cementing his retirement or am I mixed up?

    some reason I thought the lad started building bikes or engines and the uncle was killed on one...might be wrong and only chatting not stating facts
