Anyone in touch with John Lee?

[LucyLastic]

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?

Did he used to race for Raleigh? In the real early days?

Yes.  He was completely mad on a ramp

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.
