Stories of Bike.
I had to leave home and get a mortgage before i could a bike. Parents were dead against it.
Mum was a vespa rider in the 60's and Dad had several bikes, when we came along the bikes went, i only remember him coming home once on a sidecar outfit.
Turns out because mum&dad where a bit wild they assumed we would be so no go for me and my brothers.
I have had stories of pub runs involving taking the "back" road to village pub with 2 pillions, 1 on the fuel tank and sometimes one sat on the handlebars + actual rider, no helmets and coming back at kicking out time pissed......
The 60's :)
Also a neat series on you tube stories of biek, nice and glossy, bit hipster, love this one from 2014 on the 250cc theme, nothing to do with the landscape or riders :)
