When was 16 I saved up for a 90cc Italian conversation kit for my 50 special. I came home
from my YOP job my mum told me my friend had been and dropped some parts off for me.
She said he was a nice guy and she had made him a ham butty and a brew and I had just
missed him.It was only scoot legend Norrie Kerr!
