Did you used to hang around the Pool Rooms & the 'Kard Bar' on a Saturday?
Did you ever go to Mo-Tech on a Saturday afternoon & then to the 'Tanners Arms'?

Yes I remember Big Ben & Si 
What ever happened to them?
Are they still around?
The disco's in Walker were at the Recreation Centre.
Dave Snowdon used to run them if my memory is correct.
There used to be a well smart moddette called Stacey (I think) that used to go there as well shame she turned 'skin' later on.
Were you there the day we all went to 'Cullercoats' on the Metro & got jumped by the casuals?

Aye i remember the 'rec' , haven't seen Ben for few years ,Si either. Davey Snowdon still kicking about on Northern Soul scene.Speaking of which there's a 'do' on at Blackfriars opposite The Tanners on Saturday night- i might just have a dodge along.Was at Mo Tech last week 'cos i is gonna have a scoot(been too long without one)will have to be a Vespa 'cos need something reliable for work (would prefer a Lammy but too pricey)so we'll have to have a meet some time.
Top notch forum by the way- looking forward to meeting all this mad lot soon!!!
LIFE IS JUST A BOWL OF ALLBRAN,YOU WAKE UP EVERY MORNING AND IT'S THERE!

I might be able to get you a Lambretta GP for about £900 it needs to be UK registered but all the paper work needed is there.
It may need a bit work done but I'm quite happy to help you with that.
Let me know a.s.a.p as one of my mates has it,he wants more than £900 but that's what he offered it to me for.
If your interested I'll have a look at it & see if it's worth it.

It's no problem to register them as a 125cc.
The D.V.L.A & the police haven't got a clue about Lambretta & Vespa engines.
