Patrick Taylor Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 I was once given the Welsh equivalent of that sticker by an ancient garage owner in Brynamman: 'Mae gen i teigr yn y tanc'! I stuck it on the back of the minibus I was driving and it is only now (having taken up learning Welsh in Lockdown 3) that I fully understand what it said...or (more precisely) how it said it.

PeteH Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Now I could have posted that on another site. And no one would have picked up on it. Saw "Lonnie`s band" a few years back at a festival. His son (Peter?) is fronting it, does all the old stuff, but sadly It`s lost something.

Passed test and then moved on to a Triumph 650cc, 6T. Mum was worried it would be too powerful but an uncle (mums younger brother) who was a semi pro scramble rider went as a passenger and said I could handle it I was given the ok. In the hotel car park tonigt at Conleau there was a Bonneville. modern one, disk brakes etc, not the real thing 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Ahhh! Motorcycles, My first "love". BSA B31 1950 rigid back end. Learned to ride on a road, and took my test on that. Norton 600 Twin "Dominator". Then Girls, eventually Wife, and Cars, lots of them!. In the70`s on the ferries I had the "kit of parts" in the engine room workshop, which made up (eventually) a BSA Shooting Star 500 Twin. Much later swapped out for a BMW r1000RS. Happy days.

Chris A Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 BSA B31 a friend had one at the time I had my Bantem and Triumph. Back then they were cheap and all we could afford. Took the p*"" out of a friend as all he could afford was a 3 wheeler with JAP engine (can't swear to it being a Morgan) No doubt all now worth a fortune. Always had a hankering for the R100RS. Couldn't justify the 1k pounds more for one than the Moto Guzzi Spada I did buy and ran in with a trip from Surrey to Madrid and back for a rally.

Neighbour, when I lived in Surrey in the 80`s. Had this FJ1200. Awsome bloody thing. One day he let me take it up the M3. I chickened out at 120(ish). I asked what it actually did, he said the most he`d seen was 150. with a bit to go!. The Beamer only went a few years back, It was getting hard to ride in any comfort with the Arthritis, the last year was 40miles between MOT`s.
