Always remember the journey's to shields amongst others,I live in Consett and bitd myself and a few mates would have a road trip with our Northern bus express Day pass,We would take the bikes to bits ,chuck them in bin bags so we could get them on the bus and head off down to Newcastle,usually hit Westgate rd first and spend ages in Kaw/Newcastle and riding around the city centre and then head further up to another bike shop just past the general hospital,can't remember the name now.Later wrap the bikes up again,jump the metro barrier and head down to Shields,remember Conways pretty well,but don't remember riding shields very much,but those little road trips when we were youngins were the best.
yip paul did have an overall'' a top fella with some great 80's stories. i have one of the conways stickers on a raceinc i got off bigplinky. i founds some old pics of the washington track with some of gary prosser on his kz 1. also some pics of the grass track that must have been 81 ish and gary would have been on the supergoose back then some pics of a rider with gary on a redline with redline race gear could be a rider called belly from shields. in my age group i raced against two riders from shields dean ditchburn and greavsie.
