my non-Porsche picture of the day

[Bootsy]

I started on a Raleigh Budgie, then a Striker, then a Blue Grifter. That picture could be me - even had the yellow siren!

I also started on a purple Budgie, then jumped up to a red Grifter. I got it for Christmas but it was so large compared to me, I assumed it must be for one of my uncles . My brother had a Thomahawk and then a Striker.

At age 9 my mum talked me into this


52 years later I’m able to talk about it now. Sometimes.

Still traumatised by the experience.

I’ve heard you still ride it to the shops.

The trauma must be terrible. Do you need counselling?

All I know is :

On Teesside .. Charlie Graham 2nd hand motorcycle shop on South Street, at St Hilda's . Reading up , I gather he had a reputation of not being exactly straight when it came to sales patter

I think the A66 back in the day

[sladey]

My guess would be winter of 62/63
