Manuel,I watched a link you posted a while back "tunnel of love" I love the end where the chick leaves with her choice of wheels.
And after some others came up and I thought this was cool about old British iron like the Norton in that clip.

check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvWBXHRIauA&NR=1

Manuel,a little long but very good thank you my friend.

Hello John!

I think two italian bikes: Mondial and Motobi.
I don´t known model years, perhap end 50s or
first 60. Very good restaurations.

Curious: Mondial bike painted like Ducati Élite.

Spanish model:

Italian model: double exhaust.

All slide show pictures from a English amateur photographer, his son put its together.

I like very much because is not magazine or TV advertising vintage fashion, pictures are the
authentic neighborhood biker epoch taste.

Hi Manuel,
I looked at the photo set in your OP and started to notice that many of the registrations were local to me;
Ending in HC Eastbourne, DY Hastings, AP and UF are also East Sussex registrations....great stuff!
I also recognise a lot of the locations photographed; many more have probably changed beyond all recognition. I've probably crashed at a few of them :lol:
Many thanks,
Simon
