Tim Woods, a victorious TT rider on Scott motorcycles, turned up (when retired) at a local wall of death show. Spotted by the organisers as a famous racer, he was invited to have a go, which he did, successfully. Next on the agenda was a motorcycle and sidecar, only before starting his run, the organisers popped a lion into the chair, and off he went. Now, the story as related by his son was that, on the way home, Tim suffered a severe scolding from his wife who was enraged not by the danger of Mr. Woods being eaten alive, but for the frightening the poor lion! One assumes that this must have been the same company in the pictures - unless lions riding walls of death were once commonplace?
