Update:

A one-time comeback from Boet van Dulmen!

The Dutchman Boet van Dulmen, one of the main players in the seventies and eighties will make a one-time comeback on a race bike during the Bikers’ Classics on 19, 20 and 21 June. Van Dulmen will ride a Suzuki RG500. The Dutchman won the Grand Prix of Finland in 1979 and was for years one of the best privateers in the Continental Circus. He stopped racing in 1986. Van Dulmen makes his unique one-time comeback out of sympathy for Ferry Brouwer, the man behind the Centennial Classic TT in 1998 and behind the Yamaha Classic Race Team. Van Dulmen decided to stop racing in 1986 and ever since, he hasn’t set foot on a race bike again. “I had put an end to it. I have enjoyed racing very much, but at a certain moment it was over. Otherwise I would have continued racing.” says Van Dulmen. Even at the Centennial Classic TT in 1998 (one of the largest reunions in history – if not thé largest – of Grand Prix riders), ‘Den Boet’ was not present. But, because Ferry Brouwer helped him out in the past, Van Dulmen will be there this time at the Bikers’ Classics 2009. Ferry Brouwer is the man organising the GP Parade of the Bikers’ Classics and also managed to trace one of the Suzuki’s with which Van Dulmen raced in the past. It’s currently located in England, and will be prepared once again for Van Dulmen.
