ivan edake Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Wilf Green wrote at least 2 books mainly about his life and bikes. Weren't they called "A bit of yorkshire pudding" and "another bit of yorkshire pudding"or something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycott Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 of course..they are built to last!! google them or look on facebook. very active club and local branches.great local connection with wilf green. I had to give a wry smile at 'built to last' as I had a brand new MZ 250 in 1973 and it broke down on me at Rivelin Post office. I had to ring our next door neighbour from the phone box, to get my dad to come out and help and I think it was a gearbox problem and had to go back to the shop. My dad swore by West German engineering (he must have seen the quality in the war in Egypt), but said East German was rubbish! However after that, to be fair, it performed ok. I may even have a photo of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crosser Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Not wanting to start a new thread, but what was the name of the big motorbike shop on Crookes main street back in the late 70's early 80's? Was it Richardsons? I know they had two branches in Sheffield (Abbydale & Intake) I think. But I could be wrong of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
