The one armed guy is incredible 675! Nothing to be ashamed of - the guy is obviously very special! 🙂 ---

I’ve seen this guy a few times at silverstone now and he isnt slow, there’s a few other peeps racing with one arm and they are seriously quick. nothing to be ashamed of and you cant expect everyone to seriously quick straight away. ---

Isnt that Darrin Sharp? Great racer too - I wonder if his outing on the Triumph means he is coming back to Bemsee next year in the 675 series!? Exciting if he is!!! ---

Doesn’t look like sharpy Gab’s, unless he has lost a lot of weight… Darren was a super smooth rider when i last saw him at Brands in a BEMSEE race on his R6. Thought he moved upto an R1 but could be mistaken. D675, so long as you enjoyed yourself and made it home in one piece then a good day was had. Don’t worry about faster riders, there is always someone faster than you…thats not a dig just fact. Maybe you could show me your silky skills on the way back from BM wednesday…i promise to take it easy :w00t: ---

I didn’t think it was possible to race on a track with one arm. Obviously he is of the same ilk as Douglas Bader and Carl Brashear. Big respect to this guy, whoever he is. Pity he doesn’t ride a Bandit though. Or maybe he does? ---
