Did you know?!
That the famous motorcycle racer Phil Armes is Norwich born and bred? The racer beat some of the biggest names in motorcycling, he earnt Manx and Macau Grand Prix titles, Formula One rides and Isle of Man TT lap records ahead of legends like Joey Dunlop and Carl Fogarty.
Armes almost died in a motorcycle crash at Ulster, Deers Leap when he broke his back. Phil remarkably survived the accident but lost the use of his legs, but this wasn’t going to stop him riding. In 2013 Armes was invited to be one of the 65 former Manx Grand Prix champions to ride a special lap of honour, for this he rode a specially-adapted 650cc Suzuki bike. It’s been said Armes was born to ride, as soon as he was old enough he managed to get into the paddocks with some personal heroes:
“When I grew up Barry Sheene was the man, Giacomo Agostini, I grew up in the paddock with them,” Armes reminisced. “I was steeped in it. I already knew how to go racing. It was a natural avenue to get the speed out of my system. I was only going to do it for a season or two. But unfortunately, I was competitive..”
Barry Sheene and Armes were great friends and shared their love of Norfolk, so much so Barry actually bought a house and moved there for a while.
