IN MEMORY OF TED BROAD

Dear CR My great friend and sponsor Mr E R J (Ted) Broad recently passed away (October 17, 2017, funeral November 10). He made my life and times far greater than I could ever imagine.

He sponsored many riders including Geoff Tanner, Dave Chester, myself, Charlie Mortimer, Barry Ditchburn and Dave Potter; also an Anglo American Match Race. When Dave Potter was killed in 1981 Ted was so affected by this loss that he gave up motorcycling.

But we should never forget the part he played and pleasure he gave to so many.

For sure Ted, I will miss you as long as I live, and your memories linger on forever. Ted, thanks for everything.
