I went round to Michael's gaff in Suffolk with a mutual friend probably 30 years ago. Though at the time my pal told me he was a former speedway champion as I've never been a fan of the sport I didn't realise he was actually a world champion till watching this just now, wowsers 😮
I used to go watch this stuff when I was a kid and I sure miss it. They need to bring it back. These bikes are so cool. Unlike the fat wheel AFT bikes they run today.
kings lynn 1973 mike was a little boy riding after the meeting, we all knew on the terraces at saddlebow he would go the distance and he didn't let us down, a speedway genius you were michael
The media etc talk about Michael,s wasted talent etc.....World Champion and World Longtrack Champion.....hardly wasted talent.....agree Mike could have achieved more titles but he achieved so much at a young age he was bound to get fed up with it all eventually....in saying that never saw anyone quicker when in the mood.....

First Westlake engine I ever brought was an ex Michael lee TSR Westlake , man did that thing fly
Anybody know what TSR stood for?
I used to work in the barn where Michael built his engines, shame how things turned out for him!
Local lad too us great lad!!!
Great Channel,thank you Martyn!!
You are very welcome Roberto, and thankyou for watching.
Remember seeing Mike at Bellevue riding for Boston must have been 76/77. I think.
jhon davis milked it as much as he could before giving way lol
Brilliant
Hope your feeling well Mike..
Rather than getting over the finish line he was more interested in doing a line
Looks like the tapes went up to early. The starting Marshall wasn’t even ready 🤣
He wasn’t but the riders were
It's a LEE thing!..
Yess thank you
This was not his finest hour, winning the longtrack was.
He was too intelligent.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
