Summer of 76 what a time to be a teenager.
I loved it.

I was 15 in 76 with the freedom to be out from breakfast until I wanted to come home and no questions when I got back, FS1e in 77 and a RD250 in 78 , I wouldn't swap my childhood or youth for a second with a 21st century virtual version.

What happens when Pathe News give an old man a camera and ask him to film the 1976 heatwave in London

I knew a guy with a ss50, he had that many endorsements his licence had an extra page but after the ban apparently they don't count , I think then it was 4 endorsements for a ban, he had about 20.

If the picture is typical of what girls were wearing in the summer of '76, then I regret the fact I was 5!

Great film!
Was still at Junior School but recall all the stand pipes in the village, and it was the first year my Dad had a boat on Lake Windermere, was like a warm bath all summer!

I was only 4! Had an electric Honda motorbike then I think though. Looks like I missed out 76. Saw lots of sights working in Soho Square for a year though about 20 years ago

Never thought I'd say this but it looks really ugly next to the GS though I don't think the angle of the shot does it any favours, I saw one in Milan for the 1st time last week, it didn't look that *hungry monster*looking from the front in the flesh
