Mary Roberts
Update profile September 2009.
On the way to the 1987 Pilgrim rally, Alan Blastland calmly rolling a ciggie on the pillion while Mary was negotiating roundabouts.
Mary started riding in 1985 with the training scheme. Learnt on a Yam RD125 then rallied on a Yam XJ550 for years, then Kwak GT750. Now got another GT750. It always was - and still is - just about rallying. Mary says ...
Never been keen on runs out, don't get up before midday when at home weekends, and if I'm riding a bike on Sunday it's because I'm coming home from a rally.
Rallies are a week's worth of socialising compressed into in a weekend.

Mary promises to supply some photographic evidence from 80-90s and some of the rally reports when she first started, if she can face opening the sealed + alarmed boxes from the vault.
This page would also benefit from a pic with a selection of Mary's best rally trophies, or possibly one from each year to date. (Enough modesty Mary - we can do a slide show!)
Mary still lives in Wigston and works for a Borough Council in a neighbouring county.

We need a photo!
NOT Scarey Mary, that's someone entirely different
