Having a sort out and deleting some old photos, came across these of my old Grandad.
How times have changed.

Got any old ones you can add ?

As far as I know I'm the first person in my family to own a motorcycle.
I sold my first bike to my sister so she became the second. She no longer rides though. Just me :)

I haven't got any pics but my Dad had a brand new Triumph Tiger Cub and rode it to go and see Bill Haily and the Comets.

I didn't know this untill fairly recently. Parents weren't impressed with my being into bikes.

I can only find these old photo's at the moment...There are more somewhere on one of my external drives..

We've got my Mum standing next to Dad's AJS 500 Twin.
Dad's AJS being crane winched onto a ship to take them abroad touring back in the 1950's.

I think I started a thread on here a couple of years ago about Mum and Dads foreign travels on the bike...
