Jim Budd Motorcycle Racer

At the Calder Park 2 Hour an over-zealous FIM Official refused to pass Jim’s machine through scrutineering because the horn would not work.

Lindsay Walker, Team Avon Boss Man, ran all over Melbourne looking for a place that would give them a horn.  He finally found one.  They got the bikes scrutineered and in the race, Buddy would come up behind a rider who he needed to pass and slam on the horn, scaring the shit out of them!

The offical told Lindsay to bring Jim in, disconnect the horn.  Lindsay responded with a threat to sue him because it was due to this idiot that Buddy had a working horn at all, and there was no rule to say it could not be used.
