Brummies who moved to the USA. Every now and then I think about a teenage friend I had, who the last time we talked was leaving Brum and parents to live in America with relations. To avoid being enrolled as a Grunt at the time of the American envolvment in the Vietnam War (1965) he was going to...

My Aunt worked there, see post number 92. Lance

Have a laugh. Me and the Velosolex I exhibit at Steam and Vintage Shows. This one has no throttle and no clutch, true start-stop- start motoring.

I didn't have my Tiger Cub long enough to have an opinion. First RTC. bike and car guess which came off worst, apart from my injuries. :worried:

My Navigator was replaced with an Atlas. Wish I still had it. On Hols at Kennack Sands with mates, great times.

Great photo DaveA. Any motorcyclists on this thread visit Stourbridge on their bikes in the 60'? :cool:

I had the 350 Navigator and removed the fairing. Worth more with the fairing these days. :cool:

All I can add is a photo of my 1957 BSA M21, folks on this thread must have contributed to its build. Once was in service with the AA. Bostin old bike.

I've had my M21 a few years now, once upon a time it had a yellow tank and sidecar. I'm not going to say who, as recently took em nearly 10 hours to get my classic car 10 miles home and they also diagnosed the issue wrong.:mask:

The Dome was one place I visited in the course of my work. I have a couple of stories, neither good, I could tell about it. Never went their as a clubber though, I expect it was Fab. :cool:

Post away Lyn.:cool:

Another old cutting, maybe of interest to someones Family.

Here is an Old Newspaper cutting I've found amongst PIP's stuff.

I recall going to the Park as a kid with my Dad on the Bus from The Lye with a model battery powered motor boat he had built and sailing it on the Pool. :cool:

Seasons Greetings. I come across some suitcases in my attic recently (adding more roof insulation) they have been there for a long time. One of them contained a catalogue from Swallow Raincoats and more of my Aunt's (PIP) stuff, When I've looked throught it I'll post if I find anything that...

Hi Carole and others. Not sure of the exact date but it was probably around 1959, so just a brief note as I would have been 10. Miss Porter was my Aunt (RIP) Phillis Irene Porter, I never heard anyone call her PIP, did anyone? She took me to work some Saturday mornings, only a few people were...
