Mick was a central part of filming the Club’s film series BSA and Triumph Triples: The People, The Bikes, The Racers Mick was the interviewer over three days of filming and several conversations on the content of the films. It was notable that Mick knew every one of the BSA and Triumph people interviewed in the films and that played a huge part in settling the interviewees down. Mick also took an interest in the Club’s T180 re-creation project and was the author of the piece published about the road test in Classic Bike magazine in December 2023.
The TR3OC is honoured to welcome Mick as our guest speaker at the National Rally.
