They had better maintained verges on The Walking Dead! :-D

What about the "funky" seats and chairs on the grassed area shiregreen lane/wincobank ave. Interesting subjects for photography I reckon:rolleyes:

was it called something like "All American Dream Machine" to do with Bentleys?"

Bebek on Norfolk Row

"dodgers" was Norfolk Arms (l think)

Late 70's used to go there on a Saturday afternoon and marvel at the stuff theyd got! Scrap bikes we'd only read about or seen pictures of! Shelves full of petrol tanks that you had to crawl over 'dead' bikes to get to. We used to buy 'tank badges' and triplex chains and make belts.. Bought a bantam d7 track bike once (£25ish) stil got tank!t

23rd April coming up. Anybody celebrating?

removing the head should solve all problems (according to George A. Romero)

Dont get used ones... The previous owners sister usually has issues about it! (flying monkeys etc.)

All interesting stuff.. I had a 55, bsa d1 bantam (ex birmingham post office), '78suzuki ts100 (jack woods) '74yamaha rd200, '76suzuki gt250 (bentleys) suzuki '79gt380, '72bsa b50ss, '81suzuki gsx 1100

Its years since l saw it but as l remember theres alot of castleton/hathersage involved. (Some questionable continuety aswell)

First time I've been able to rip YP in half! .. I like it!

you could try asking at a shop that sells snakes & reptiles etc. They tend to use t5 tubes.. Might be of help

Always get lump in throat when lve seen I H perform that.. Ronno - underated & sadly missed

Depends what your selling but you could try Wavelength Music on London Rd

Yep, describes Old Bulls Head as I remember it

R.E. Johnny (carnaby) Britton.. Would this be the same bloke that had a motorbike shop and was involved with "Hells Angels South Yorks" in mid to late '70s? I can remember them in "The Nelson" passing round the "beer money" collection tin! Just another gang of bullies?

Check out this book.. The Spider With The Platinum Hair by Wierd and Gilly - all u need to know about 'Ronno' ..sadly missed

There was Alice Cooper on the back wall and Bowie and possibly Jeff Beck were up there if memory serves

I can remember watching an organised scramble in Housteads woods/fields behind Pipworth school - side of the parkway sometime round '78

As a kid in my early teens round about '74 onwards me & my mates would spend alot of our spare time touring the many motorbike & related spares shops ( i know, i know) dreaming and drooling at the machines we would one day be riding. We'd go to places like Smiths(spittal hill), Bentleys(abbeydale rd), Grays(west st) and even go outa town to Charlie Freemans(eckington) or Pollards(dinnington) could name plenty others, all gone now though.. Well it was a hobby ... Anyone else?.. Discuss... And did you realise your dream, what bike did you get/now got?

Sorry if they've already been mentioned, ... Lewis Leathers bottom of Moor.. Colvins Pinstone Street, Revolution record shop on gallery , Jeffs Curios Division Street and Grays Motorcycles on West Street

My Dad was Personnel Manager there early 70's... Bill Mitchell.. If anyone remembers?

still got a 'single' (remember them?) by Fixer.. I think it was 'Bright & Rosey' on the Rainbow label... I remember a band called Avalanche playin 'Wap' - a bit AC/DC and the drummer got naked!
