Old photos, younger people!

 I found some older photos and thought I'd post them, most were taken with a digital camera back in the days when the files were tiny, there's a photo of me on my Original Guzzi Le Mans that was scanned from a very small Instamatic camera which is also poor quality but thats what we had then, Happy times with great people (We are lucky to still be having happy time with great people), enjoy the nostalgia and marvel at our hair and the fact our clothes seemed smaller!

Looking forward to the Wee Smokey this weekend at Arbroath where I hope to get some more photos and some crack!!

France ( at a French Rally near Paris)
Horrific winds getting back to the boat, we had to park the bikes at the side of the building to stop them blowing over (We were all picking sand out of the switchgear for years after)
Alex, Phil chilling, having a Guinness
The Run in Clonakilty, this couple were regulars and sadly no longer with us.

And finally my original Guzzi on a trip to the Isle of Man, just before I started racing and traded the bike in for my Honda. We were practicing "getting air" on a back road near Peel
