he was a few years younger than me and was one of those young lads that would always tag along behind you even if you didnt want him around followed us every where .
but one day he was out on his own and went flying down the road straight out in front of a transit van unfortunatly he didnt survive :'( . he was only 12 .the first person i knew who had died. his favorite song at the time was paul hardcastles 19 . every time i hear it i think of him and how he never got to be 19 .
its funny how something like a bike or a song can take you straight back to those days when you were a kid .
thanks for posting that link
even if the memories are not the best its still good to remember old friends .

yeah jim it was a sad day alright . :(
the little lad didnt have much luck with the pirrana . the bike got run over in the car park down the wreck months before the accident we all laughed because even though a car had driven over it nothing got damaged :) then it got stolen from him by a lad off the courts something gibson i think . we found it on the roof of one of the garages and gave it back to him
maybe it would have been better if we had never found it :( . as i said these bikes bring back alot of memories for me .
