God you're really making me feel old,my young twins are 30 in the summer

Oh to be able to go back in time to the late '60's with a Mille ( and a shed load of spares) .

Just think,open roads,Police were only just getting Panda cars and radio communication was patchy,radar traps were strips of rubber cable laid across the road 100 yards or so apart on the odd occasions one came across them and best of all    5* leaded petrol @ a few pence a gallon!

Oh, and road tax was pocket change and it did get spent on maintaining the roads,so no potholes either.


The music was better then as well

Impudent young whippersnapper


Have I told you about when I was a lad............................?

I can remember filling my Bonneville up with 5 star, 1.6 gallons from the coin operated pump for 50p..can we go back in time please ?

i remember filling my old scooter with 3 star ready mixed with oil from the pump at the old texaco .or was it 2 star Ok .maybe i can't remember lol

hey Ian yeah i no that aswell the rear locking up with no warning lol .it was ok when i set off then when it got hot boom seized.had to wait for it to cool down then off i went again lol

I hated them!!! My nsr250 seized on the m62!!! Think that was it for me, how the hell I didn't die that day

My mate has one of them, we sometimes take it to trackdays as a spare ride and I've never ridden it just in case I seize it.
