I'm pretty sure that a bar called Spangles was next door, where Pritch's fantasies used to get together and talk about chewing rugs over a guiness.
Not a bike in sight, they used to line the street and it was mandatory to check for chicken strips before getting a pint. Unscuffed leathers were mocked, too. So un pc but bloody hilarious times. This was in the heyday of RD 350's. Formation wheelies.. Particularly on Westgate hill, close to The Strawberry and The Budgie, epic but wild bars. Westgate hill was a whole street of bike shops, accessory shops and customisers. The place to be on Saturday mornings.
I miss those days. Immensely.
