Look At Life - Behind The Ton Up Boys 1964

Post by Wicky »

Great colour film from when I was a mere yearling!

Worryingly all the bikers look like brylcreamed young Virt's - and as for the Jimmy Saville bikers outing to the children's home to take the kids out to wide open spaces for donkey rides, the less said the better! Same as for some of the hats the 59 Club members are wearing.

Rummage, rummage, draw closes, more rummaging ....




















Ah! found it...

I too noticed, brilliant, and the mention of the motorcycle industry we had, what a shame we didn't keep it :thumbdown:
