  1. Dan Bradbury's further up London Road were the Moskvitch dealers ---------- Post added 05-02-2015 at 16:34 ---------- Dan Bradbury's further up London Road were the Moskvitch dealers
  2. My brother John mentioned your Pete the other day he thought he'd seen him one night in the Travellers at Thorpe Hesley
  3. I've also got a Harley it's a78 ironhead sportster needs a bit of work tho' must have had it about 20 years now. Would love another Brit bike but funds wont allow at the moment.
  4. I did it on a 1989 BMW K100 I picked up cheap a couple of years ago it's proved to be a really good bike, a bit heavy to push around but once you're movin' it's great. My dad was in the second world war n it just makes you realise that even those who survived lost 6 or 7 years of the prime of their lives. I think of all the happy times spent with mates biking since I left school at 15 back in 1961.
  5. Like I said my brother John worked at Wilf Greens in the 60s in the stores and I know he has many fond memories of his time there
  6. The reason I asked about the club was I read an ad in a 1937 copy of "The Motorcycle" for a run they were going on to Boston in July of that year, it made me wonder if they made it through the nightmare that was just around the corner the second world war. It seemed in stark contrast to my youth I was born in 1946 so partied through the 60s at the Wharncliffe Hotel on Friday nights, we would buy spark plugs oil and petrol for our bikes from Credlands garage, the meeting point for their run on that July morning. I decided that because this year was the 75 th anniversary of their run I would do it myself which I did in June a bloke in Barnsley made me a plaque for back of bike.
  7. Does anyone remember Sheffield Northend motorcycle club that met at the Wharncliffe Hotel , Firth Park?
  8. They were at 123 Rockingham St next to the old firestation the Cutlery Case factory was opposite
  9. They were at 123 Rockingham St at the side of the old firestation its been pulled down now new buildings flats I think are there now, the cutlery case factory was opposite.
  10. Yeah blokes would drive Dennis chassis up from Guilford, we would service them and they would then be delivered to coachbuilders to be built as whatever.
  11. I worked at Dan Bradbury's from 1969 to about 73 Graham Crump,Ray Moss,Mick Warbuton,Reg Dalton and of course the Italian guy Arnaldo or Rav as every one new him. Rav in fact worked for Lambretta before Dans the "old ladys" name was Mrs Varney happy days indeed with those lads we loved to test the bikes for sale by taking them out to Ringinglow and Burbage edge, any excuse eh! What Rav didn't know about Lambrettas wasn't worth knowing.
  12. Old bikes and Plus Gas takes you back years
  13. My brother worked at Wilf Greens in early 60s think most of Wilfs family worked there at that time including Mrs Green, Arthur and Mary
