Dad aged 15 after he fixed up this motorcycle

The story goes something like this,  Dads older brother was good motorcycle rider in his day when he was a young bloke and always "go'in like buggery", then one day while racing back down the narrow "Thorpdale hill" road he shot over the edge somewhere like a rocket and landed down in the scrub, he was fine and the bike quickly recovered then placed towards the back of their fathers workshop where it stayed much to the delight of old Monty Fowler for some time.

Then dad clapped his eyes on it and quitely over a period of time straightened it out and got it running again, Monty was not to pleased I was told.

Anyway I just love the sign on the front "The Wild One"...

Cheers Grant
