Ted will be back next year racing his faithful Ducati bearing the number 83 to match his age.
So he's 82 this year (Hence the number) and will be 83 next year.

Met Ted Fenwick today woohoo Top bloke too! thumbup He nipped in to drop a few things off at my site. Told me he makes regular visits to Elvington and that the top speed of the Duke does (Wait for it).....


108 MPH!!

Funny when I met him that he had the race winning Duke (which looked rather spiffing up close) tied up in the back of his Zafira biggrin Oh, and the Dukes up for sale! £3,000

Anyone fancy lending me 3k Jib? whistle
