    Going through some old pics today , I found a couple which might bring a wistful smile to your face .

    The first one was taken at Staithes (NYorks) in 1964 . I`m the gadge on the back of my mates Thunderbird / Bonneville . Can`t remember which now . I was sweet 17 then .

    My mate Colin with a nice T100 in " Armstrongs Motorcycles " ( Middlesbrough ) taken in 2007 . He died from Parkinsons shortly after this photo was taken .

    I started biking on a 1969 TR6 in 1977 (I was 17). Must admit, I prefer the new stuff - shame I didn't have a new me to go with it!

    Hey mate , you`re a sprightly 53 :smile: , I just celebrated my 66th year this year in hospital , having my guts removed ( seriously ) and thought I would never ride again . Sold my Fazer FZ6 in May and bought a bonneville in August . Here are a couple of pics I took at the Middlesbrough Motor Club annual Classic Bike Show today .

    I have reason to believe that this restored Tiger 100 (below) was actually MY last bike in 1968 , I am going to do a little bit of research on it .

    Always had a thing for old brit bikes, if only some day I'd get my hands on an Enfield Clubman or a Dunstall Norton 750...
