1961 ... Yes I remember it well .. I'd already been a biker for five years by then .. regulation gas mask bag for the spanners, chain links, tape and bits of wire .. Barber waxed cotton trials suit, flat cap on backwards with Spitfire Pilots goggles to keep it on
Regular twice a week ride-out from Royal Navy Base's in Plymouth, Portsmouth or Portland up to Brum and back, no motorways, no street lighting, no cat's eyes on the B roads.
A good telling off and a swift kick up the arse if you get pulled over .. by a fellow biker cop ;o)
Probably the best days of my life .. if only I had know it at the time
Stay Safe Guys
