Debbie and I figured you've all seen plenty of my furry mug in the last few weeks, so we're going to sprinkle in some archive pictures every now and again. This is a shot of my dad on his Honda CB175, sometime in the late sixties, probably at a track called Harewood. Check out the Dunstall tank and handmade megaphone exhausts, along with the period riding gear! This bike would eventually be the bike I rode my first race on, about 15 years later at Shannonville.
Check out the big grin on Dad's face!

I think your Dad was still tinkering with that bike when I arrived on the scene at the Trevitt house. Is that the one that Peter still has? Do I feel a joint, family, resto project coming on ? Mabee we could even get one of the new generation Trevitts to ride it someday.( Iknow I'm to old)
