I met Whitham at the Beaulieu bike show this year,oh yes he likes to talk,hes a big 2 stroke fan and was happy to pose for pictures.He had just come in from doing a demo ride when we were takling to him and he preceeded to remove his leathers in front of us( this was outside in full view of everyone) leaving him stood there in his boxer shorts and tee shirt(much to the wifes delight).Hes a top man and he let my wife in the roped off area to get some close up pictures of the bikes he was riding.
