Well Lou a number of things really, I was a young BSA apprentice at the time, I had been sent to the London, ( Earls Court) motorcycle exhibition. Sunbeam corner was where people could have their photographs taken with a couple of "Bond" girls, as in 007 !. and a BSA Sunbeam scooter. I was just "trying" out the equipment !. What I learnt was that the scooter had to be supported from the back by some large pieces of wood because with three people sitting or leaning against it, it fell over ! It was very unstable, just like riding a scooter on the road, and secondly I decided that I like Motorcycles a lot more than scooters. I hope that you believe me.

Here you go Carlo. Snaps from '69 ~ '71 at Sandy Lane enduro / hare-n-hound in south N.J. / hill climb in PA. Thought the center of the universe was Birmingham, England....apparently, it wasn't.

In Italy there is a proverb that says:

Women and motorcycles, joys and sorrows. Donne e motori, gioie e dolori!!

Hey Patt!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
