A E ROSE

Mr Bettsd.
With reference to your post I quote"Hmm I'm not sure who rote ( wrote) it". Before you question the authentic letter I sent
Mike Powell I would suggest you read it first then maybe you will realise things with the Bantam engine happend long before
your time, wait, read, and learn before you write posts like your last one, patience is a virtue and by the way my name is
LES not lez, you can always use spell check.

I joined the B.R.C. in 1964 not as a rider more a builder and developer of the Bantam, at that time I knew nothing but as
time went by, along with a lot of suck it and see I did manage to develope a competitive power pack , my first jockey was
Alan Aspel brother to Mike the TV personality,then came Andy Aldridge then came Bob Sheppy, Jim Gow, and then in my
estimations one of the best jockeys I had was Mick Bridges, He rode my first 54-54, then came John Sawer,I'd passed the
54-54 to Mick. Both John and I were interested in the developement of a water cooled engine, this was back in 1978 , Need
I say more.

I wish you all a happy new year and may all your gears entwinen

Ouch I thought there was to be no bickering on here for the good of our class!

Hi lez
I enjoyed listening to your stories about your past with John and the Bike, at John Sawers Funeral, and it does seem I can not get away from this type of issue !, but I was replying to Mike's request to me, about the article from AE ROSE and I was simply saying I was not sure if it was AE Rose. ! so I think you have me crossed over with an article from you, that I have never seen, but would like to" and I still waiting for Mike who is hopfully going to post it soon, "with your permission of course".

Look its not intentional to get issues wrong, but accept my appoligies anyway for my spelling" !.

But I quite agree with Ian's comment lets move forwards.

May Iwish both you gentelmen a happy new year to you both, and families, I look forwards to seeing you both at the practice day.

best regards Derek
