"whats that on your head dad" cheeky beggar so don't be  if you have some old pics of yourself and your old bike let's see them

Just to continue the theme of nostalger and crying in our beer, here are a few pics of me and my P&J's, just to prove that I am one of the oldest on here.

How it all started in 1966 with a 1960 250 Francis Barnett.


Graduating in 1967 to a 250 Honda (CB 77 I think)


My 700 Royal Enfield Constellation with Watsonian sidecar.


I too waqs a lot thinner and had a lot more hair. So let the mocking begin.
