Jim Budd Motorcycle Racer

Interesting note in the 1978 Oct/Nov issue of REVs issue.  I wonder if anyone kept a straight face when they heard this one, and I quote:

I suppose you’ve heard about the Sydney circuit promoter who, on hearing that Kenny Roberts may be coming to Australia for a holiday with Gregg Hansford said:  “When he hears about the money at our next meeting, he’ll want to ride!”

A long, long way off the mark.
