I thought about tht possibility. There was a really good SA bike rider who retired last year, Alfie Cox.

I love the SA accent. I know you know what I mean.

BTW, could you imagine racing one of those trucks? I drove trucks before college, but couldn't imagine running 120 mph through the desert, etc, and getting one totally airborne like they do.

I've heard of Alfie Cox. He used to race at Kyalami which is just a few km. from my sister-in-law's house.
As an interesting side note, my wife is related by marriage to Paddy Driver, who is a retired bike and Grand Prix driver. I believe he used to race Nortons.

I know what you mean about the accent. Too bad the Mrs. has lost hers!

Driving one of those trucks must be unbelievable!
I've never driven a truck that size, but can you imagine the beating a driver's body must take?
