Re: Eeeeeaa them wor days....
Yep, rare find.
My biking started in the 70s with a Honda CB175, so many of the names on that box are familiar. Particularly pleased to see the Dunstall sticker; I had on of his 4 into 2 systems on my CB750 K1.
Other names like Maico and Ossa wouldn't mean a thing to many of today's riders.

Re: Eeeeeaa them wor days....
Love it, that's like a memory box of old brands and images. They yours or did you find them at a vintage shop?
You can't beat a trip down memory lane, before you get too forgetful
From when I was about 18 I collected all my concert ticket stubs (from late 70s till mid 90s) and stuck them onto a A1 sized Stiff little Fingers poster. Found it in the loft a few years ago and framed it, then put it up on the wall..... Makes me smile when ever I stop and look at it.
It's like a who's who of punk, but there are some right weird one offs that I must have went to to impress a young lady!

I bought this box when I was10 and I've had it for 50 years,so every sticker has been stuck by me.
Obviously still in use today and it constantly reminds me of my life in biking.

Re: Eeeeeaa them wor days....

Re: Eeeeeaa them wor days....
great to see some of those names sadly im old enough to remember them
the older i get,the faster i was
Re: Eeeeeaa them wor days....
I was just thinking the other day that is wish I still had the toolbox I made as an apprentice over 40 years ago. Feck knows where it got to...
Insufferable halfwit.
Re: Eeeeeaa them wor days....
I still have the aluminium one that I built when I was working I engineering many years ago.
I wasn't an apprentice, so I got an apprentice to fold it up for me.
It's got a lot of air miles on it, I used it to carry tools and spares when I used to fly to jobs in the food processing industry.
I never failed to be amused when the girly manning the metal scanner insisted I put it through the machine, causing sirens and men rushing around with one hand in their jacket, especially when flying into Belfast during the troubles.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Nice!
There's always something special about using tools made by your own hands
