Royal Enfield and other old Brit bikes
« on: April 11, 2009, 11:52:36 AM »
http://www.burtonbikebits.net/ a shop which started in the town I live in, he has since moved out of town but keeps the name for obvious reasons. There are plenty of interesting pics on the site especially in the Gallery, the top centre pic is of my friend with his TZ250 at the Manx GP, I spent many years travelling the country with him to race meetings helping out. Sadly I could never afford to take the time off work to go and help him at the Manx the reason Mick was with him. There are many stories to be told about those times, we still reminisce about them.

I'd like to hear some of the stories--statutes of limitations have probably elapsed !
