Nice pics Dave. Quality doesn't matter, it's the nostalgia that makes 'em great ! 8)

I'd be somewhere in the crowd for that Superstock race at Scarborough too. :D

Nice pic's mate. 8)

Got two of my own.
MY Suzuki A100, (after i was pole axed by a new 84 Cavalier) a crap bike but fun. I think i must have been off it about six times :D .
P.S. My A100 actually wrote off the new Cavalier.

My RD430 Air Cooled.
Loved this bike, but was never sure of the colour.
Stage 3 tuned of course, claimed 63bhp.

True, s'pose I'll end up with an old dog to do up, sounds very familiar, I assume you can do a yamma gamma with a mkIII? Just most seem to be mkI and IIs
