I think Mum kept us all fit and trim to make sure we WOULD fit into and onto the motorbike and sidecar. Great times!! Although, you were always the 'tomboy' of the family Carole -you should have ridden pillion.

Heck no, I should have been driving the thing, the nearest I got was one attached to a fairground ride, must find that snap. I have ridden pillion on quite a few though ! The last time was on Tony's (Halliwell) bike in 1998 when he took me to Warrington to pick my car up, Ihad left it after a 'do' the night before. We roared up the motoway in the fog. Didn't like the fog but the ride was great! Funny to be talking about bike this morning, I was just thinking on my way to work if I was getting to old to get a Harley with the black leather fringing etc.:o)
