Recommended Posts

The Jack Frost I knew drank in the magnet he died on the bridge in chatsworth park around 30 yrs ago riding a kawasaki 1300 another one was Phil pycroft who also died in a moter bike accident both had biker funerals and were in the sheffield star.

 

I was on the picture in the star of Phil's funeral mind you so were about 70 others :) Jack was also in the star headlines once too it said man bites police dog :hihi: think it happened outside the Sportsman Denby Street. Good old days eh ?

I remember Jack and Frank Vaughan being arrested for giving their names to a young copper who pulled over a car they were passengers in.

The young cop thought they were taking the p**s,and nicked the pair of them,and ended up being made to look stupid at the station ,where it was established their names were,indeed, Jack Frost and Frankie Vaug

han.

Just out of interest was a lad called Dave Corbett a member? I went to college with him for several years and had many a drink with him. Nice lad. I think he lived up Pitsmoor way.

clean/ lee, was a early druids mc member,but wasnt in the club very long but he always remained a loyal and good friend of the club. unfortunatlely lee died of cancer quite a few years ago now...r.i.p bud.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the info Moz, sad news about Lee, I always liked him.

 

I remember the first time I saw him, my mates and I had been to an all night biker movie show at the Classic Cinema. On the bus home we sat upstairs and loudly expounded our theories on biker club rituals and initiations. Every now and then a bloke at the front of the bus would turn around and look at us with a bemused expression. When I got off the bus, I noticed he was behind me, he followed me all the way home and I began to wonder if we'd revealed a few club secrets and I had to be "kept quiet":hihi:

What I didn't realise at the time, was that Lee lived at the bottom of my road.

My cousin Kay was married to yeti(Simon), not seen him for years but I do occasionally speak to him on FB.

 

when I lived at burngreave i used to breed mice for snake for his snakes.

 

my dad(Kay’s uncle) was a friend of most of the druids his name was bob, he was a big fella then and he used to fix some of thier bikes, my dad used to be a hells angel back in the 60’s and 70’s

When god was handing out noses,Tiny thought he said  roses and asked for a big red one. Club joke from the 80’s. Snake (Brian) had a beautiful king python about 10 feet long. He rode a 750/4 black hard tail stock rake low rider similar to the one I had a few years later except mine had an XS 650 engine. Glinn (sp?) lived at sharrow or nether edge I can’t remember which. He had a mildly customised honda 550 (club entry level bike) but was building his dream XS 850 triple in his flat. He had a polecat that liked to lay on your shoulders while you were socialising and sharing “refreshments “.
