Si, is your mate who had the 125 Ben Johnson, it just seems a coincidence that i sold my son Guys rs125 to a chap up your way, Bill Johnson for his son Ben, the end of 98, Ben had an older brother Lee, who i think sadly had a fatal accident at cadwell on a 250, my nipper raced with Lee in juniors on 80cc Cagivas. Ive heard you mention Ben before and it just got me thinking, what a coincidence if it was the same bike and the same Ben.
