Yup, that's me I'm afraid, wearing my silliest beard.
That piccie appeared in Awol many moons ago. The Yam was featured in BSH along with my mate Gary's, (see "Motors", "Two Wheels"). The bike was last heard of in Scotland sporting apehangers & a flame job! The jumper is sadly long since gone & the beard was knitted into a rather fetching bobble hat.
Have a look at my "Brighton Burn-Up" piccies, once Yodie's loaded 'em up, if you're into XSs. Several shots of some classic ally tanked cafe racers running XS motors & German number plates.

Yeah, a modern classic -well, not so modern any more I guess. Had 3 or 4 of 'em, one after another. The chop ran twin 32mm Dellortos & a mild race cam & went like a rocket. Why didn't I keep it?  |

One of yesterday's "Brighton Burn Up" shots. Remember "Blue Manx"? Now that was a beautiful machine.

Beeyootiful!
Saw an Egli Vincent at the Popham Classic Bike Show, (see Rally/Show Photos), & there was a nice little Sporty on the sea front at Brighton yesterday. Cafe racers just look SOOO cool don't they!

Manky, did you go home sick from work on Monday to put these pictures on here, or are you dying. Someone told me you had a headache, you big girl.  |

Did you know I won a Trophy and lost my Cartman hat.
Then I won another Trophy. I miss my hat.
