When I decided to become a born again biker in my 50`s, I bought a very tidy little BSA B 40 from a friend, which I really enjoyed chucking about, perhaps more than it was initially designed to be chucked, though fortunately without issues, it did seem that I was over taxing it in modern traffic situations, though despite that, I loved the way it sounded , which convinced me that I still greatly enjoyed m/cycling, so much so that I bought my last bike, a BMW R850 R which was a fine machine indeed and more than capable at the time in any modern traffic situations.... I kept enjoyed my m/cycling for a few more years in all weathers, snow included... though once my eyesight reduced to requiring me to wear glasses, I decided the time had come to hang up my helmet.... misting visor was bad enough but adding misting glasses to the mix too..!!! Yeah motorcycles and motorcycling was a great pastime, that I am very pleased I did not miss out on....

A long time ago: ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2019/02/24/IOM-Scan.jpg) A bit longer ago (that's me on the grey bike!) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2019/02/24/Racing-Scan.jpg) and even longer ago (okay, not actually a bike but...) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2019/01/17/Company-Car.jpg) Calum .... a query on another thread caused me to browse back at this old biking one .... loving the old racing shots .... not sure of the exact era, but did you ever run across a racer called Allan MacDonald from Dumfries way? he raced circuits and road courses in much the same era ... when he ran out of bones to break he eventually ended up racing Hillclimb cars ... him and his wife Grace were paddock pals of mine on the Hills.

Hi Keith, the name rings a bell but I have to confess to being hopeless at remembering names and faces. I only raced for three years, 91, 2 & 3, but was then mechanicing for quite a few years for a friend. All very good fun.
