Legends live podcast in a pub.. stavros, the Rogers and Mick. Awesome.
In 1978 i was a teenage race marshall at Donnington park . Our spot was the top of the craner curves with my back to the traffic. my knees used to knock together! We were very close to the track with just a couple of hay bales for protection!
I remember the kawasakis of Mick, Barry and Kork Ballington very well.
Best quote. The rotten little hunchback. Hilarious. Top quality pod thank you.
Cheers Alan! There's more from Mick on Thursday and then next Monday with much more of the same humour and observations :-)
Grate guy & grate rider my in late 70s & early 80s has family we always went to Cadwell & oilvers mount to watch the transatlantic racing grate times
Thanks, Richard. Glad you enjoyed the show 😊
Terrific interview.I remember watching Mick and Barry back in the day.Brilliant.😀
Cheers, Trevor! So glad you enjoyed it 😁
Mick grant was such a great rider,he got me into racing in the 70s and his riding style and his leather's Kawasaki,I had a 250cc Ducati and me and my mates sprayed it Kawasaki colours ,I had a great big poster in my bedroom and I use to dream of being like Mick, thanks Mick grant 🥋🙏♥️x.
Really enjoy hearing Mick's stories😊
Fortunately then there are two more episodes coming up Thursday and Monday with more of the same 😊
better than any book
Hard to imagine, Mick not being a World Champion. Had everything bar the silverware
Awesome Dave. This was my Dads Hero growing up. I dont think Mick would remember me now but I have done a few pre-65 trials with him and the Scottish 2 day trial back in 2013 when i was 18 years old riding a UPB Bikes Cub for robert moore. Would be nice to meet him again as I told him one day i will be road racing and I have just finished my first season in the BMW F900 cup. He has some great stories. Looking forward to part 2 :)
That's a great story, Jord! And congratulations on your first season in the F900s ✊🏼💪🏼
The only honest man from that era.
Mick Grant my era Dave what a rider luved the Kawasaki's back then I remember watching Mick at the transatlantic races at Brands and seeing him coming out of the pits back then just awesome . I also will never forget reading about the time when Peter Williams had his horrendous crash on the Norton it was a big story back then not sure of the year though in MCN that ended his career early what could have been for him he had a dealership in Southampton if I remember correctly .Sad to hear that Kawasaki treated Mick quite badly just shows that so much goes on behind the scenes and not in a good way . Can't wait for the next one 👌👍
Thanks Crumblymal, appreciated as always. So much goes in behind the scenes even today, it's a strange old world once you dip into paddock life.
Thursday and Monday for episodes 2 & 3, full of incredible stories and possibly the most politically incorrect but funniest story ever early in ep. 2 🤣
If only these ex riders retired and went on to run the country. Honesty, integrity and blunt as a sledge hammer. 😄
Couldn't agree more, Mike! Thanks for watching and enjoy the next two episodes 😊
For most of his career Mick rode the racing version of the "Widow Maker"....
