Receding - that is natures way. Just get some Mr. Sheen and give it damn good polish. It's the way forward.

Bloody heck! I didn't realise you were the Karate Kid!
Cool MBX. My mate had one as a first bike and it was the first bike I ever road. And it was black. Did you pull out the baffle like we did to make it sound like it could chase turkeys?

This one is from the late 60s. I used to be able to haul ass on this thing, one foot down flat track style. Funny, I got slower as I got older. Yeah, I was a fat kid too.

Oi!... there's no need for that. I ask you - try my best to keep the troops entertained & end up getting stick from the Leicestershire mob :rolleyes:
Just you wait until Mallory little miss Horne :twisted: Anyway, I bet you've got a few ancient photographic gems lurking in a dusty album somewhere?
Just to show my capacity for self ridicule knows no bounds, here's one of my old work ID photo's. Yet another corker from the Rolf Harris years... can you see what it is yet? :D

It' all lies - I tell you I've never deliberately attacked an innocent bowl of cornflakes in my life (your honour)
You are possibly the bravest man I know, you have my utmost respect. :D
Ever thought about doing a series of Animal Hospital?
