Colour photography was too expensive in those days! wink

And here's a shot at Lands End a few years later

This one is me at Hartlepool on the T100 in 1977

T100%25206th%2520August%25201977.jpg

The sprint along Hartlepool prom has been gone long ago but on that day we did a quarter mile in 15.98 seconds.

I didn't get into trail riding before migrating to Devon nigh on 6 years ago. hmm

I did bring my Cub with me - before getting the TTR
