Here’sapictureofmeonmyfirstLambretta–those

werethedays!

Me and my uncle Bill on my first

scooter – a TV175 – bought for £40 in

1968. My dad is doing an early form of
      photobombing in the background.

My attempt at ‘chrome

won’t get you home’ on

my second scooter –

around 1969.

1970: my brand-new GP200.

WDSC stands for Widnes & District

Scooter Club. I can’t remember

exactly why the ‘The Saints’ name

was dropped, but I think there was

a schism in the club and founding

Saints member, John Barber, left

and took the name with him.

Pete Sherwen, myself and Keith Bryan off to the

races at Cadwell (probably) in 1972 or 1973.

1971 (I think): Pete Sherwen demonstrates

what happens when an inlet manifold comes

loose at the IoM Scooter Week.

Scarborough to this day.

A bit blurry, but here are a couple of pics of me

and my scooter back in the 1970s.
