Just a little story.....
My second job,year 1991......driving around Surrey / West London / Berkshire with a more senior work colleague (bosses son out of his head on LSD most of the time) in his company Rover Montego.
Both of us into bikes.....often seeing this sort of scene and pulling over during work time to take a good old look......me always hoping that I'd see a four stoke 70's / 80's Honda in the crowd.....and to be honest back then, there were at least two Superdreams lurking within a crowd of 'cool' bikes like this....later scene here but I think you get the picture.
Great great times that I'll never forget....

I always like the smell inside a motorbike shop. I used to do a lot of bike shop browsing, don't bother as much thee days, modern bikes are too ugly.

Never been in a proper bike shop for noisy, just nothing of interest!
1991...my Dad had the fastest bike on the road, Kawasaki ZX10. And I wasn't even thought about.

Can anyone recall this happening? The goings on here were highly featured in the press, reaching a peak in the Autumn of 1991. I wonder if you can name the troubled English council estate that these shenanigans (joyriding in stolen cars) took place on? It probably happened in many places across the UK but for some reason, it featured in this exact place more than anywhere else (prominent in the press) in this year.   |

I wonder why they did not Nick a proper car though I cannot think of a worse car to drive :/. - maybe they were easy to steal |
