I remember them being one of the "in " bands during the middle to late 80,s on the rallies, when everyone had a giant quiff :D Those were the days, i can honestly say, the best of my life. :good:

Those were the days, travelling all over the place to the rallies usually at least one of us breaking down either on the way or going home. We used to have such a laugh.

IOW, Yarmouth, Morecombe, Rhyll.

 

My days of owning a scooter are long gone but the memories will never die.

 

As for King Kurt & The Meteors. What more could you want to listen to when you're off your head at a rally :good::good::good:

:D You,ve bloody set me off now :D Flynn, the frank wilson song was the rarest northern soul record of all time apparently. I was listening to stuart maconie,s show a couple of years back, and he was talking to one of the old wigan jocks [i forget who]. This guy was on the phone to Berry Gordy, and he mentioned this record, berry gordy said "yeah, i think we have a single copy of that [do i love you] in the vaults somewhere", and the wigan jock said, " you havent, i,ve got it in my hand" he sold it for £14,000, and that was a few years ago. Whoever bought it allowed it to be copied and it appeared at wigan etc, and lost its exclusivety, still a great track though, but the version by chris clarke is even better. :good:

 

"Toe knee black burn"... :D the time,s that b*****d record woke me up, that bugger who ran the record stall playing it [inferno records?] first thing in a morning, [usually margate] the "bollocks record, is actually " last night" by the bar-keys.

 

The " three before eight" "landslide" "turning my heartbeat up"-MVP,s.......get that talc down.. :good:

 

I wish i had an unrestored gp200 in the garage :( this was my last baby i built, and i miss it. :(
