The bike that made me want to ride, IYSWIM.
Trevor Nation and Steve Spray's battles on something knocked up on a budget in a shed were awesome.

Tony is a neighbour of ours,and this bike was built from parts in his shed.A couple of years ago at Donnington when Trevor Nation saw it,he said it was better than any he had raced.

Not at all.
My last post was tongue in cheek.
No offence meant
It just seems so laughable now that these attitudes were so prevalent in recent history.
Nowadays, I think it's all just good humoured.
My boss is a Woman, and constantly ridicules men.
As soon as we answer back, we get shot down in flames.
It's all just banter though.
