RE: Back in the day
I probably posted my last message on the wrong thread .
I remember the lido in the 80s. There was a green Kawasaki  11R in the foyer. To win it you had to balance a trail bike for as long as you could with one push. By the end of the week. The Kawasaki had mirror indicator and all sorts missing. People who had crashed there bike used it as a parts bin. Also the crashed bikes on the prom with a bucket in front of them. There was always a sign 3rd party insurance only and still on finance.  The fast or well off lads always stayed at the Blossoms. There  was Moto Martin CBX s and Rickmon Kawasaki's  parked on the grass. 1984 and 1985 there was a fleet of GPZ900Rs their
.Was it the lido that had the flags hanging from the roof beams? Or was it summer land ? Someone would always climb up onto the beams and pull down the flags. Of course the door men would be waiting for them when they got down.  I'm sure MCN took over one venue and Superbike magazine the other. I'm going to my shed now for a little cry. Iv just realized I am now officially a old fart.
