with the death of my granddad last week we had a family gathering this evening and all the old photo's came out. My dad was going on about "there's Gavin on his first motorbike" which i thought was odd as i never let them take a photo of me on it as i hated the tarted up heap of crap.

it was me sat on one of my dads old old work bikes (a c90) aged roughly 3'ish with my brother on the back, i have told him this evening "oh i remember that cos you used to leave the keys in it and i used to start it up when you went out" to which he didn't look please, i remember going on the back of it tho with an open faced helmet......... well i was into bikes young, he wouldnt let me onto the his choppers until i was older

awwwwww a sweet baby gavin, whatever happened!?!

It's always amazing what pictures get found and whats gets found out after a family death. After my nana passed away we all found a list of who had got her what in the house, to make sure it got returned to the correct person! Strange I know.

Don't forget the good old days they are what keep us going to find more! x

looking hot as ever big man.
That c90 looks just like one I tarted up & sold when my neighbour passed away. The guy did 11 miles a year on average and had owned it from new in the 70s. twas a minter.
Sorry to hear about your grandad
