    Seeing as there's quite a few (ahem) aged gentlemen on here I'm sure you have some interesting, amusing pics of you and your bikes from another era.

    Hre's one of myself taken 34 years ago when I was a spotty yoof at 17 about to conquer the world of biking :p

    Nice boots dude.

    I've still got this Wrangler Jacket. Jeanette wears it now as its too tight even for my skeleton. Friends trendy kids say its a classic and should go on EBay.

    Shame as the bike's worth feck all.

    Is that what that is?

    I thought someone was frying bacon.



    It's got to be some psychological syndrome to even purchase a vehicle called a "Beta". The clue's in the name.

    If you're old enough you'll remember there was a recall on all Lancia Betas, not to fix or modify any problem but to have them all crushed!......this one consequently was also, my mother was absolutely gutted!

    My first attempt at modding the bike, at that age I thought it looked super cool and might make it go a bit faster! ;)

    That's a bloody cardboard cut out ya cheat. It's the same pose in both pictures and you've got Fez to magic you some strides in the top one.
