Longford Rockers

From Doug Noble pillion to Gig. I don't remember Gig going out with anyone at that time. The jackets were only ever painted by Bob Underhill and the Triumph logo was only on as requested by individuals as per TR6 on Gigs referring to his Triumph Trophy. The bike was not a chopper but had just been converted to a cafe racer "nice job".

From Doug Noble the laurel leaves were all ways part of the original design not just for the funeral.

Doug Noble, the name rings a bell. Weren't you one of my customers at the Island cafe in the sixties?

Exactly were was this Island Cafe - I must have been in it, I can't remember the street name or anything.

Hi all, The location is the traffic island, Sewall Highway & Torcross Ave. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.4204186,-1.4691959,103m/data=!3m1!1e3

Arrrrr, a fog is beginning to clear, thank you for that.

Hi Alan yes I spent many happy times in your cafe, I lived in Honiton Road you must remember my older brothers Ian (Nobby) and Jimmy. Nice to hear from you.

Hi all, Hi Doug, I am sure that my BSA bantam 175d, did not qualify me as a rocker. My leathers were red & in really wet weather I had a Bellstaff coat. I remember you very well Doug. Best wishes. I lived in Sewall Highway.

Hi Doug, as soon as I saw your name I thought it had to be you. Yes I remember you all. Was one of you friends with David Cadden? There is a photo somewere on here that shows a lot of you in the cafe but I can't tell you where because I seem to have lost it. (perhaps Philip in Coventry knows). It's nice to know so many old Longford Rockers are still around. Those were the days!

Hi Philip a bike was a bike, we all started somewhere mine was an Ariel Arrow. Nice to hear from you.

Hi Alan yes I do remember David. There are still quite a few of us still about, was at the Dyers Arms last night with Sylv Bloxham, Pam Johnson, Dek Crutchlow, Steve Holtom, and Barry Johnson. We are trying to organise a reunion before Christmas, but if not it will be in the new year. Forgot to mention John King was there the main man who organises all our get togethers and keeps us all informed as to whats going on.

Thank you Morgana, that's the one. I can't seem to find anything these days. Perhaps old age is trying to tell me something.

Philip
