| Someone once said something to me that made me really think ? 'Now look here lad I have an observation,you are like many of your ilke and age and the last ones that rolled your sleeves up and got yer hands dirty and stuck into an oily machine,self motivation lad ! thats what is sadly lacking these days' !!!
Well,I once rode from Newcastle to Coventry on a rebuilt Lambretta scooter with a Bambi sidecar,a long trip on such a machine,this entailed several stops on the way down to fix things like points that had welded themselves together,a front wheel bearing that got hot and needed to be packed with grease to continue the journey,an exhaust that needed welding by a friendly small garage, and a few soakings with rain,an epic journey for me at least,but loved every minute of it.
I take my hat off to all of the youngsters here on this forum,they are growing up in a far different clinical world than the one we once knew.
As they say,once you light a match and burn your fingers,you never do it again !
