TWICE IN THE SPACE OF A MONTH I'VE FALLEN ARSE OVER TIT IN LOVE WITH AN AMF ERA DRESSER . . . . THIS GLORIOUSLY UNRESTORED '7O FLH IS NOW UNDER THE STEWARDSHIP OF TIM GREEN FROM THE STATES . . . . A GENUINE SHED FIND, HE'S BROUGHT HER BACK TO AN HONEST LIFE, REPLETE WITH THE HARD WON PATINA OF A LIFE WELL LIVED . . . . PERFECT.

I'M NOT SAYING I DON'T LIKE MINT CONDITION, IMMACULATELY RESTORED AND PRESERVED BIKES AND CARS, OR ANY 'THING' FOR THAT MATTER, I'VE JUST ALWAYS LUSTED AFTER SHIT THAT HAS BEEN UTILISED FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE, BEEN GIVEN THE REQUISITE CARE AND ATTENTION WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY ALLOWING IT TO GROW OLD WITH GRACE AND DIGNITY . . . . OLD BIKES, OLD CARS, OLD BOOTS, OLD PEOPLE, THOSE SHOWING THEIR AGE AND BEARING THE SCARS AND STORIES OF A LIFE WELL LIVED ARE WHAT APPEAL TO ME THE MOST, NOT THE WOMEN WITH FACELIFTS, FAKE TITS AND WEARING THEIR DAUGHTERS CLOTHES, NOT THE CONCOURSE PERFECT SERIES C RAPIDE, NOR THE BETTER THAN NEW, MEGA BUCK RESTO A.C COBRA . . . . CHERISH THEM, LOVE THEM, KEEP THEM RUNNING AND LET THEM HAVE THEIR HEAD, RESPECT THE HISTORY THAT IS AS MUCH A PART OF THEIR LIFE AS THE DESIRE YOU HAVE TO OWN A PART OF IT . . . . THAT'S MY STORY AND I'M STICKING TO IT. TIM, LONG MAY YOU ENJOY SADDLE TIME ON THE RIGHTEOUS OLD GIRL, RESPECT BUDDY.
