Webbo’s dad Mick raced Triumph-powered chairs in the 1960s and 1970s, winning three consecutive British grasstrack titles before switching to road racing. Webbo started racing while he was doing an apprenticeship at Rowntree Mackintosh in nearby York. “I was taking so much time off work to go racing that they eventually gave me an ultimatum: if I w...
Webster was made an MBE in 1991. “It was a laugh. At Buckingham Palace they trained us how to walk up to the Queen and made sure we knew the right things to say to her. She said something to us about sidecars not being made out of wicker baskets…”
He’s a full-time engineer – he’s good at all aspects of engineering and fabricating. When he raced he machined a lot of his own bits, made gearbox parts, cast crankcases and so on. “A lot of the sidecar lads are like that,” he says. “You can’t just walk into a shop and buy what you want.”
He rode one of his old LCR500 GP outfits at the Festival of Speed. He used to play around in classic trials – with a BSA chair – until health problems intervened. “For a few years I was struggling to walk and I was losing feeling in my legs. I thought it was the racing but the surgeons said it wasn’t that. They ended up fusing my bottom three verte...
A couple. Most famously at the 1985 Dutch TT at Assen when he was leading his first GP and ran off the track at speed before ploughing into a dyke and nearly wiping out a posse of photographers. “The photographers were on the other side of the dyke thinking, this is a good shot and we’re safe here, he’s not going to hit us. You see one of them sudd...
Webbo did the TT once, in 1983. He only made it to the 13th Milestone on the first lap before another big crash. “I still can’t remember anything about it really; I must’ve got the 13th wrong! I ended up in Nobles hospital with compressions of the neck. My passenger, Tony Hewitt, broke a couple of vertebrae.”
Rolf Biland, the Swiss ace who won seven world titles between 1978 and 1994. “Biland was always the guy I wanted to beat – him and his passenger, Kurt Waltisperg, were the best. I came along, followed them, learned from them, got to the stage where I felt I could have a go at them and then started to beat them.” Words:Max Oxley
