I used to go there when I was a kid!

Let me have a look at that footage first, I want to check there's nothing you can say about me.  Not my fault mum used to make me wear tartan flares.  I ask you!!!  There is nothing nice I can say about any of the eras I was bought up in. 

You could always tell when Dad had dressed us, he didn't have a clue about fashion (thank god), it was always in jeans and tshirts, much more comfy.  ;D  Mum bless her heart would always try to "fluff" us up a little.  I still love you mom   :-*

50's ...... SOMEONE LET ME GO BACK IN TIME AND LIVE IN THE 50's!!!!

Jackos got some pictures of bikes and dragsters tucked away somewhere, I'll see if he'll let me have a nose.

Ah, the 70s -the decade that taste forgot. I was in purple nylon shirts with long pointy collars, long hair & flares. Horrible, horrible, horrible.
You showed me a photo of Jacko's dim & distant past a while ago didn't you. Dig out a few more & we'll add them to the Old Biker Photos bit -that's old photos, not old bikers obviously!  :)

I used to have navy polyester trousers, a handknitted red cardigan (which I didn't mind) and a page-boy hairstyle.  My nan always said I should have been born a boy.    :-\

Worst thing I ever wore was a white shirt with little black men with marraca's printed on it. I thought it was great, but my girlfriend (later my Mrs) told me she would bin me if I wore it again.
