When I say I was a rocker the bikes were Bonnies, Tritons, Goldies, Vincents and the Mods were poofs. Anyone got a time machine I want to go back

Yeah i remember me & my mate rebuilding a tiger 90, listening to zep, uriah heep, van der graf generator, even a bit of focus! then somebody turned up on an Ariel 200 & stunk the place out.Mods rode puff chariots.Similar noise & smell, but all the brit bikes had the technology long before the japs.

I would have expected something a little more refined from a wedgwood blue driver. I don't see any derogatory comments on your misspent youth

I was downloaded in 68 so I missed all that Brighton front page stuff (Thank god) ...I was always a rocker until SWMBO gave me the chop , we used to go to the Hungry Years in Brighton every week for a bit of neck yoga and air the air guitar, then at the end of the session we would negotiate the decent of the long flight of stairs like a pinball "easy does it" lol...Those were the days and the Hungry Years is far from the place it was now.

Cheers

Take care you don´t kill yourself (or anybody else)

I spent many weeks in the Royal National Orthopeadic Hospital in Stamore, in the late 70's for intensive physio, but the amount of young guys & girls who were brought in with various missing body parts from biking accidents opened my eyes, I can tell you.

To all 2 wheeled riders, take care out there, please!
