Title: The Glory Days Post by Blinky-FSO on 12/03/13 at 11:31:33 The Glory Days of British Motorbikes I found this BBC production on Youtube in four parts. If you have a soft spot for Norton, Brough, Vincent, BSA, or Triumph bikes, it is an hour well spent. I especially like a quote in Part 1. "On a motorbike, you can put the world to rights." If you don't watch it all, at least watch Part 4 starting at the 12:10 mark where you will see a very young Serowbot in his very first BBC interview. Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGeXjHU0ZHE Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI0KKP7heKo Part 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjTHCheQqT8 Part 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akkhZmjTyVY Good hunting |

Title: Re: The Glory Days Post by Serowbot on 12/04/13 at 08:42:42 Naaa, that's not really me... Blinky's just funnin'... I doubt I was born yet... Fun and interesting video though... I love that "ton up" "Ace cafe" period... I even have a white silk scarf....(they're actually very practical, they're very thin, pack up very small, yet block wind better than anything) ;)... If I had been asked such a dumb question,.. I might have answered something similar... :-?... |

Title: Re: The Glory Days Post by keith pearson on 12/05/13 at 13:28:16 When I was a young feller-me-bloke I never imagined that one day that greasy old cafe would be famous and the subject of documentaries. I wasn't scared to ride past the Ace as I had an Ariel Square Four, a real bike. Scooter riders were chased. The spoons on the tables for sugar were on chains and the tables screwed to the floor. I was n't ever quite sure what I was - I used to go to Eel Pie Island for jazz and R&B , but they had a sign saying "No Rockers or Greasers" . So I went on the bus, because in biker gear you weren't allowed in. They even did a documentary about "The Island" , which is now long gone. And the bands around that area at that time - The Who, Rolling Stones, all before they were famous. |
