He's Jeremy Davies, a grasstrack sidecar competitor I used to race against in the 1980's. He owns and operates Mere Fabrication and Welding on the Quarry Industrial Estate off of Castle Street. Mention my name and receive the worst coffee in Wiltshire!
Ah small world! I will see if I can find him…maybe I can get some welding lessons too.

I’ve never heard of grass track side car racing but sounds like a ton of fun…hope I don’t come away from the meeting with a new hobby XD

Welcome Chris

Hope that you have fun here. Give it a few months when the sun is up and the wind and the rain stops and we will be on a ride out every weekend for you to join. Like yourself I tend to be a bit of an aging hooligan and have been known to twist the wrist once or twice. Looking forward to meeting up and checking out the KTM.

Enjoy
