"Senecta perfidiaque iuventutem facultatemque semper superabunt"

John Horgan (OldGit)

Date of Birth: 19/07/60
Home Town: Halstead, Essex
Bike: RS125 Honda
Years Racing: 7 (1984-91) and 2002 on....
Best Racing Moment: Finishing the Manx GP on the hottest September day ever on the Isle of Man
Worst Racing Moment: 100+mph get off at Coram, Snetterton when my TZ350 jammed it's throttle wide open.

 

I started racing back in 1984/5 on a Vic Camp Suzuki 250 single. Took 3rd in Bemsee singles championship on a YZ250 a year later then raced an incredibly quick Yoshi GS1085 Suzuki.
Competed in National singles championship on a FT500 Honda and then rode a TZ350 for a season - culminating in a spectacular 100 mph get off at Snetterton when the carbs jammed open!
1991 saw me compete in the Manx GP on a basically standard GPX600R Kawasaki and finish 14th in Newcomers. Then kids and new houses forced me to retire......
..but I returned in 2002 on a trusty ZXR400 in the SS400 series, but got pissed off with those little 125's going round me on the bends. So I got one!! I will be on a fluorescent yellow RS125 this year - can't wait.
