Have to admit it brought a bit of a lump... :-(
I started my 'riding' life on a Raleigh Wisp, progressed to a Puch MS50 then. Yamaha FS1E.....then the big bikes came...a Yamaha RD200.... Which didn't stay standard too long... Ported barrels, modded pistons and reed valves along with expansion chambers, that was my first foray into road racing, progressed to a Yamaha TDC1A....
I can still vividly remember the Trans- Atlantic races ...Sheen v Roberts.... Great....
Then there was the 'Meet the stars' at the Brid Spa .....Roger Marshall, Ron Haslam et-al....
I could go....on...
