I left School, Easter 76.

The longest hottest summer arrived, I had a job & my FS1E

I really thought life was perfect.

You really don't care about droughts, when you are free from school, and have money for beer & petrol.

My Mom carried me through the summer of 76, something she's eternally grateful for....I think.

I spent most of that summer in Chamonix in the French Alps. Very nice it was too. Had a Honda 250 K4. Didn't ride it out there. Got a bus to Geneva for £28. Return, of course.

I spent much of the summer fishing at Chertsey for barbel. My best was 6 1/2 pounds.

My Dad has just been made redundant and had plenty of time on his hands to take me and a retired uncle out.

Special memories.

My brother's KH250 spat him off - straight into a telepgraph pole on my birthday in (June) 1976. It rained that evening - really rained.

If I recall correctly, that was the year I shagged my first divorcee.

I turned 9 years old in the summer of 76. I was looking forward to each weekend and the next episode of Chopper Squad.
