I loved my younger years and am so glad that I was born when I was, no bloody Health and Safety regulations limiting what can and can not be done, poor youngsters today have their hand tied, cant do this or that because it contravenes health and Safety
December 22nd 1965 was that day when the 'Round White' road' sign with the 'Black Diagonal Stripe' ceased to be the 'FLAT OUT BOARD' the 70 MPH top speed came into play, the beginning of the end.
But to be honest I had never owned a vehicle that would even do 70 at that time, my 250cc Cotton Conquest came very close to it though, Ahhh! the good old Villiers 2T lump.
