1976 And I Was On THe Road Legal

1976 was when I finally was able to get on the road legal.
I had shares in several bikes from the age of 11. The 3 bikes below were what I had during 1976/77 - Not my actual bikes but the same.
Any of the crew still about from the 70's 80's Get in touch with me John Galleymore
Where are you now - Mick Hadley ? Kevin Barnes ? Alan Graves ? David Barnes ?
Clive Milton ? Derek Smith ? and any one else who remembers us

1976 I was old enough to be on the road legal
above my first legal road bike.
Went everywhere on this.
Went faster up hill if you helped it by pedalling lol

Belt drive which tightened as you
accelerated. I recall the engine pivoted.
It was prone to running backwards.
sounded great or so I thought with no baffles

Gilera 50 Trials, I managed to Sieze this
up frequently by insisting on riding about on the back wheel. Wheelies galore and
many pistons/rings/little ends/barrels and finally a crankshaft.

The Gilera was my last ped before moving up
to the RD250C on march 26th 1977
