Privateer

These photos are from a race meeting at the Croft Circuit in North Yorkshire a few years ago.


The rider is Mike Minns (No. 20), an English lad who raced an MZ 1000S as a ‘Privateer’, ie. without major factory input.



The MZ Riders Club was one of his ‘corporate sponsors’ for a couple of years.

Anyway, to say thank you, Mike sent the club a very nice watercolour painting of himself on his bike at the Isle of Man painted by a local artist. It was framed, then raffled off with the proceeds split between Mike and N.A.B.D.


The winner of the above painting was fjStuart

You can find some information here on Mike's performances at the IOM from a few years ago.

  1. The painting still has pride of place on my study wall.
