February 7, 200719 yr Hi there guys, i am currently compiling a list of motorcycle champions 1950 - 2006 for a college project. Can anyone help me out with the winners of kickstart or junior kickstart between 1978 and 1991??? Any help would be great.
February 7, 200719 yr In 1984 David LLoyd won the senior class and Steve Colley won the junior class of Junior Kickstart. Not sure who won the Adults that year but it's a start. David Lloyds victory was completely out of the blue as he was on a twinshock Fantic up against Rob Sartin who was on the new TY Mono and the likes of Phil Disney, Wayne Braybrook, Duncan Baxter etc however the heavens opened after Davids ride giving him the chance to take the win. He later burnt his house down by accident whilst lighting the fire, destroying the house and winners trophy in the process! I'm pretty sure he was presented with another when they heard the story. Hope this is of some use. Edited December 27, 201213 yr by hughesy
February 7, 200719 yr IN 1990 THE JUNIOR KICKSTART WAS WON BY GRAHAM JARVIS AND 2ND WAS LUKE WOOD. ANYONE FOUND ANY MORE ARCHIVES OF THE LATER PROGRAMMES (LATE 80 EARLY NIGHTIES)
February 7, 200719 yr Did Luke Wood not win it three years on the trot? Which year did the late David Page win it? I recall it was the only year it wasn't televised for some reason - a shame.
February 7, 200719 yr Kickstart 1983 was won by Bernie Schreiber on my Jumbo SWM !!! Motoswm.com have very kindly provided a link on their site - to the actual episode - well worth watching. The Jumbo will be appearing on Martins SWM Stand at the Malvern Show Saturday 17th Feb. Cheers JumboStu
February 7, 200719 yr in october 1982 my uncle steven west came 3rd but not to sure on the winner i will try to find out for you won the trial but no promise ok
February 7, 200719 yr Author Thanks for the help so far guys, after some research I managed to find some. Here is my results so far...... Kickstart 1986 Edited February 10, 200719 yr by KICKSTART101
March 14, 200818 yr Blimey what a find this website is. I had forgotten when Lloydy won.. and yes it did pee it down on that day... oh what memories.. also remember Julian Ingham falling off the log bridge.. going mental and gunning the bike all the way round. Didn't Steve 'Woody' Hole win a few kickstarts ?
March 14, 200818 yr I'm sure i remember Diego Bosis winning in 1988 on the Aprilia TXR, though this may have been the one where they were paired with junior riders, possibly Andrew Johnston on a fantic 243?
March 18, 200818 yr I'm sure i remember Diego Bosis winning in 1988 on the Aprilia TXR, though this may have been the one where they were paired with junior riders, possibly Andrew Johnston on a fantic 243? yep they won, i was third with saunders ,who let me down
March 22, 200818 yr Author Welll i now have a slighty updated list that i have been working on from time to time. Kickstart 1979
March 23, 200818 yr If anybody could help me with the junior kickstart winners from 1980, 81, 82, 85, and 87 that would be great?My friends tell me to get a life, but i would like to have a compleat list. Peter Purves might be able to help - seriously. I dropped him an email a while back about this topic raised on TC back in 2005. I got very nice reply direct from him - not his agent or anybody else, but from him personally. Came across as a really nice bloke who was genuinely interested and he updated his website to include a link to the topic. His contact details are on www.peterpurves.com.
March 23, 200818 yr If you search youtube there are a couple of videos, I think Colin Boniface won Kickstart in 1986.
