All of us here have been riding a very long time........and over the years I find there's always certain things that stay in my memory. You may have forgotten virtually everything about a particular year.......but certain incidents (or certain people) you never forget.
This one goes back to 1972 and there was this one guy, Dai Tanner, who used to fall off his bike! A lot!
Back in those days we were always in a pack......so it was guaranteed he was going to do it in front of everybody at some point.
And the first time he did it......he started crying! Everybody was horrified cos he was shaming us (this was the Greaser/Skinhead era).......so he got told that if he cried again he'd get a twatting.
Sure enough he kept falling off......and everytime he did he started his snivelling. So we'd all run over to him (even if he was still on the floor) and give him a fucking belting!
If anybody missed the run, and they found out he'd been crying, they'd just give him another fucking smack as soon as they saw him. He gave up bikes in the end. Maybe it wasn't for him.
OK......let's have your memorable moments!
