While we raise a virtual pint to the late, great Paul Sample, does anyone remember a couple of other bike catoons? Specifically Fred Gassit in Superbike and a weird one that replaced Ogri (I think) for a short time called Ranx Xerox? That may have been in one of the other mags - it would've been around 1985-6 - but I've had a few bangs on the head since then so I may be mis-remembering the whole thing.. I've got all the Fred Gassits digitised I think, if anyone wants me to share a couple.
I've still got my "Jack Shit's totally unofficial Bike Show 1984" Tee shirt. It...sort of fits. But that's not what I was thinking of. (My 750 Turbo was known as Hoover - if you remember the strip you'll know why)
