They bred 'em tough in Lamb A

A PLEASINGLY unorthodox portrait photo of motorcyclist Jon Watson-Miller (LaA 72-79) has a story attached:

Jon … rode 5,200 miles of the Paris-Dakar Rally with a broken foot, finally retiring after a further fall damaged the tendons in his other foot. He managed to get the bike upright, remount and ride 20km to the end of the stage where he received medical attention.

No wonder he says he set up his motorcycle workshop because:

Due to no fault of his own (yeah right), crashing happened with monotonous regularity and Jon realised that he had so many BMW bits left over he may as well try and get some of his money back.
