Old Stuff

  1. Wasn't sure where to put this lot....My mate and his wife came over on Saturday night for a curry. Neither of us drink but the other halves make up for it tenfold....any way, get chatting, start to regail each other of stories of crashing, evading capture/arrest etc etc....the old pics come out but I happened to have the laptop running so plugged in the scanner and scanned this lot....collection of photo's from the late eighties. Club racing on a sunday at RAF Hullavington..... These are shots of obviously the bikes being raced and a few from the car park also.
