Midlands bikers may know of a very good little shop tucked away in Erdington, Birmingham called Fred Hanks Motorcycles. I have been going there for many years. Sadly, Fred Hanks passed away earlier this week. His son Roy and daughter Beryl have been running the shop for a long while now and provide a reliable, honest service. My thoughts go out to them and their family.
Roy has been racing sidecars for nearly 50 years and has won 40 Isle of Man TT replica races. He is also Chairman of the TT Supporters Club.
