Anyone in touch with John Lee?

His dad used to own Chorley race track and John Lee was a cool, rad and fab guy.  I'd love to know what he's up nowadays, anyone in touch with him?

I was talking to John a few weeks ago at a Frank Sidebottom tribute night in Manchester. Happily married with 2 kids. He races flat track motocycles with Skooter Farm race team. He still has his bmx. I've got a lot of time for John,he's a good lad.

Yeah, i was going to say he was into Flat track motobikes. My BMX mate Geoff Cain has started making/racing flat track motorbikes and he told me last week that he now knows John Lee.

Geoff just emailed me, said he was hanging out with John at a flattrack race today. He sent me a photo of Johns "general hack" a 26" Torker cruiser with a 6 bolt Torker stem & all...
