 "My name's not Steve."

"I don't care. What are you going to do?"

The ride home - intermittent rain and a 20mph tail-wind!

My brother wasted his money on one of those French doors made by Maginot. The door is still there, as a neighborhood curiosity, but that thing caused the garage itself to quickly fall.

Hey Guys you do realise that all the WWII gags have an ever-diminishing audience size?  That said, they're very clever to those of us of a certain age...

Very much so, Young people are probably wondering what the heck were talking about, unless they take the time to look up the information.  There are young people who don't even know who John Wayne was.

It goes both ways I couldn't tell you who the young actor's and actresses of today are.

Hey De Dee, have you ever seen the George Formby TT Film?  Called "No Limit" and featuring the Shuttleworth Snap.

@Neil, talking about times gone by...
Read and reread this book over again. Makes me think about people and behaviour then and now.
If you ever have the chance go get this book. This George been a mechanic and Velocette owner pre- and after WW II, during war dispatch rider, just a simple hard working blue collar, but a gentleman...

Thanks Ruffus I'll take a look.  Always had a soft spot for Velocettes after a school friend had a 350 single as his first bike.  I was so jealous!

PS:  Just found a copy on eBay.  That'll be my Christmas present to me!

What I thought was a very good movie especially for a cold winter day is Worlds Fastest Indian. Has to be my favorite motorcycle movie and happens to be a true story.

You'll enjoy. If you're not born with the silver spoon in your mouth you will read a lot of similarities to youth and adult life on our generation.

In Marquette Kansas there's a motorcycle museum. Stan Engdahl a famous racer started it.  Worthy of reading about him and his accoplishments. If any of you happen to be in the area we can take a ride up to visit it and I will buy you lunch.
