The embarrassing throwback pictures of your/our/my bikes & me

Think a few of us had Triumphs loved my c&g exhausts
Yep, Mick Hemmings sold me my set in 1978.
The embarrassing throwback pictures of your/our/my bikes & me
 
It was HOT!!
It was hot for the UK
We had a great time slipstreaming each other along the Southend arterial at 47mph on the flat
A bit more down hill
When we weren't queueing up for water at the end of the street!

Most of it's a 40mph limit now..... 'til they finish the roadworks, if ever!
 
Some of our racing was done on the cycle path

Yep I've seen them
I bore my girlfriend to death telling her what the a127 racetrack used to be like :D :D :D :D

Sadly it will end up a clone of every other large town, most of the small traders and shops that gave it character have long gone as the old premises got pulled down...
Still got the pier and that daft pirate ship, though.
Big bike shop on Cuckoo Corner?? (okay, Westcliffe but you had to pass it)

Yep it just looked like a shopping centre to me
Stupid lamposts and stainless steel everywhere
 
Sadly it just us older guys that miss the old times , change is in much more of a hurry these days … the late 60’s early 70’s sure were fun though !
