I'd repurpose that as a cutting blade!

Seriously, I don't know how people manage to wear discs so thin without having pads dragging all day long.

Click on it and it'll take you to FB to watch it, or should do. FB seems to be stopping outside embedding of vids these days?

Apparently the police had spent the day in the mountains escorting the Vuelta d'Espana... I guess the one at the back had lost concentration.

Christ, do they really sound like that when you're riding them? Sounded like the exhausts had fallen off!

No, they're actually too quiet if anything! Dunno if he had a camera set up near the back wheel or something as I've no idea why its making that racket?

I think this is the earliest photo of me biking (apart from age 2, sitting on my dad's BSA).

July 1977, about to head off to Devon for the week.

Steve (Triumph 500 Tiger 100), Steve, Dave (BSA Starfire 250), Bob, me (Honda CB175). Authentic biker hairstyles ;)

I thought this pic was long lost. But found a few days ago.

Sad circumstances for finding it. One of the guys has dementia and we're having a 'memories' evening with old photos.
