Guy that lived next door, when I stilled lived with my parents, built choppers out of Triumphs and BSAs and I started running errands for him to local bike shop. They offered me an job as an apprentice mechanic when I left school, did it for six months then got an engineering apprenticeship. Took the engineering job because that was £10 a week and bike shop was only paying me £8 and I had to work all day Saturday.
