Rachel’s (one of the traitors winners) mum. Considering that it was filmed a while back and from day one she said if she won, she'd spend it on her mum who had dementia and Parkinson’s to make memories and the winners only get their winnings when the series is aired, I find that quite sad.

I used to see Dave Degens at the Kempton Park autojumbles. He was still well into his bikes

Used to see him quite a bit back in the day he raced in the classic racing club meets

500 Daytona which if I recall was converted to an 8 valve set up ?? Always the engineer

Bought a couple of box section swinging arms of him that he manufactured for Norton wide line frames

Genuine Dresda tritons go for a fair bit now
