    Royal Enfield win in DTRA

It was ALWAYS guaranteed fun times but this particular one (DQ III, 2014) sticks in my mind as alongside organisational duties, I actually found time to race in the Chopper class. My bike, a 1979 Suzuki GS750 'Pig-Dog' lived up to it's name and only ran on 2 of the 4 cylinders throughout all my heat races but
