Dave the Gnome	Folklore: Milk bars, motorbikes and moral panic (18)	RE: Folklore: Milk bars, motorbikes and moral panic	08 Sep 17
I never owned one but my first motorcycle ride was on my Dad's BSA Gold Flash and Busmar Astral Double Adult sidecar. The same law applied to 3-wheelers, Iains, which is why there were so many Reliants and Bonds on the road. There used to be some confusion about having a reverse gear but when I got my provisional (1970) there was no such restriction and I could (and sometimes did) drive a Supervan III like Del boys with an L-plate and no supervision. Not sure about milk bars but there were some local cafes that were predominantly biker hangouts. There was one around the Eccles/Patricoft area but I cannot remember what it was called or just where it was. Just that there was often a plethora of old British bikes outside. late 60's/ early 70's possibly? Can you remember that Raggy or did I dream it? DtG
