My Mum and Dad did most of their courting on a 1930's ES2. I have some
pictures that I really need to get scanned. He loved that bike and thanks
to it I was actively encouraged to get a bike the minute I could. he got
an old Yam equiv C70 which he taught me teh basics of engines on when I
was about oh, 8 years old.

Thanks Norton!

That must have taken some care. A bit more adventurous than the back
seat of a car, certainly. :-)
