I was listening to the radio this morning & they were talking about his life, it only came out a few months ago that in his younger days he was a wall of death rider with his mate, not bad a……….



but their trick was to go around with a grown Lion on his back or riding in a side car,

despite a full autobiography he had not thought it interesting enough to mention it before then.

What a man what a life !!
