Saul Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Well not really but I had to fuel up my bike this morning and as the fuel station is only a mile from my house I always like to get a few miles under my belt rather than just do such a short journey. Had a bit of a trip down memory lane this morning, when me and my L Plate mates used to do a trip of the 4 local motorcycle dealers every Saturday morning to see what they had. Of course they are all gone now but it was good to do the circuit just the same. After the loop we used to go and hang at Polmear Cafe until kicked out then headed to St Blaise Park to wait for the football. Couldn’t even get in there now all locked up. Never like that back in the day. I also popped down to Porthpean Beach to have a look. Also found a lot of these things hanging around different spots in St Awful Finally a little gift left on my phone from my Darling 18 year old daughter mental cow, as I tell her often. Sorry Pete found no corpses. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dealers were like a Social Club and meeting place back then! But then they were traditional motorcycle dealers.......unfortunately the car salesmen came in and changed everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 True mate, I was wondering if all my old mates and I met up to do that again if we would behave any better and I really don’t reckon we would . Nothing like a group of old codgers unleashed . In the summer us L Platers we used to stay at Polmear Cafe playing Asteroids with the Jukebox on the go trying to pull a holidaymaker until thrown out, then race over to Highway Cafe until thrown out of there. Spent bleddy hours doing it. If we were flush and feeling a bit brave we used to go down to the Wimpy at Crinnis Beach and then into the Amusement Arcade. Always risky as the St Austell lads didn’t like us St Blazey boys much. Had many dust ups with them but there were only 15 or so of us, there were many more townies so it depended if they were mobbed up or not as to the outcome. Also one way in and one way out of Crinnis Beach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
