Off for a weekend in Brighton with their mates, the rockers :D

 

Don't have a bike, but went to Brightona today, charity biker event, did a bit of jiving to one of the bands we know, a bit of fun until the rain came in. (lol)

also had Lambretta's in the sixties a 150cc Pacemaker followed by a SX200. Belonged to a local scooter club and raced the SX200 at Brands Hatch with the Lambretta Club Great Britain. Sh*t myself it was quite frosty but really enjoyed myself and finished twelfth out of sixty quite respectable I thought.

I was called mike the bike at work hence my forum name. Great days!

Seeing as we are continuing with the scooter theme anyway, I had a Lammie GT200 (yes a GT not an SX). Met a guy a couple of years ago who lives local and has a collection of 10 various Lammies and when I told him of my GT, he said it was the rarest ever model and if I'd still got it, regardless of condition, he would have offered me £7000 for it. If only we could see into the future eh!

It would look better on the back of pelmetman's van, as it's nearer its age.

Problem is, that it would probably rip the back out of the van, as it's full of old newspapers and polyfilla to hold it together. (lol)

Well-sticking my head over the parapet here but I was always a Rocker and never had a scooter!

Not changed much over the years, still a rocker at heart but progressed from a Bantem to a Cub to a Bonneville cafe racer through various Japs to the Harley-can I still claim 'mid life crisis' at my age or am I past it and a 'Crocker'

OH yes !! Both, all consecutive years from 1973 for one and from 1984 w'it t'other. Plus no tax for TR and if they fetch it down to 30yrs then none on the TWR next year (fingers crossed). That would mean free for Horace in 2021.....you lucky devil owning a banger 8-)....... VOTE for CON's I say :D
