You were born in the 80s? I'd never have you pegged at that age.

He was born in 1952 and frozen by the government who were working on a top secrete programme trying to stop the ageing process.

He looks young but has the mind of a 70 year old

I didn't (as I'd have been minus 20 years old ), but love the cafe racer era. What did you ride - anything exciting?

Yep, I was indeed born in the 1980s.

My Dad used to be part of this in the 60's. I have forwarded the thread on to him and I'm sure he will post up some gems

One from my Dad

'The cafe in Wilmslow l think was called the Bamboo. Police used to wait opposite the Skyways to chase the cafe runners. Never remember them catching anyone as it was only a job to them, not worth risking their lives.
One young boy looked at a girl "in the wrong way" and had two hands thrust under his rib cage and was lifted up on top of a nearby postbox! Apparently it was very painful !!!'

Ha ha, sounds about right!! The only things the coppers had were Morris Minors, and Velocette LE's which were 200cc and wouldn't pull you out of bed!!!!
