Ogri

[Richard A Thackeray]

With due regards to my comments on page 5, of the Volvo thread, about Ogri

Did any of you, who may have read it, know that there was an animation??

Oh, & Mitzi features

Blimey! I'd forgotten him.

I was a Fred Gassit man myself. A hero biker dog with Saddam Hussein as his sidekick. Just superb.

Used to be the first part of Bike mag I read.

Always the first read ... mans man ... before that became a trope .... I worked with his writer on a number of articles around the Moped Mayhem series that i was the instigator of for a number of mags in the 80's .... Cheers me up no end when in a group of motorcyclists the subject of Moped mayhem comes up .... i just stay quiet and smile ... .....

I got involved with Moped Mayhem at the East of England Show. Ended up in an ambulance - and I was just a race marshal!

bloody chaos
My step sons mate used to race in it.
Great fun.


Never bothered with Ogri but enjoyed Bike Mag

But not Mitzi?

 

[Landsurfer]

AH! ...Mitzi .....Not quite sure about her choice of PPE ...???

 

[Smokin Joe]

All of us who read Bike magazine (Fantastic alternative take on motorcycling back in the day, now just another "Which 600 is best" consumer guide) imagined ourselves as Ogri, but feared we were really Malcolm.

But not Mitzi?

Yes I'd forgotten her as well

I am pretty sure he featured in a race/trial with "Cap Jap", works racer, two leaf story complete with English translation of part of a Japanese manual. "If tappitinga sounda make, take ara to main dera". I think Ogri won but I cannot remember how as parts were falling off his bike.

Was it Back Street Heroes that had 'Gruf'??

I used to see John Carroll, who was once the editor, at shows involving another of his hobbies/motoring likes; Land Rovers (particularly 'Series')

Bike and Ogri were brilliant. Won a year's subscription once with their caption competition, but they only sent two issues out!

Haven't bought a motorbike magazine in absolutely years now (probably since the brilliant UMG stopped being produced) because as Smokin Joe says, it's all about which 600 (or whatever) is best.
