Silly buggers at CSM Swindon circa 1995.
A few piccies from a long time ago. Used to play silly buggers on a sunday evening when the boss wasn't there. Me and Steve Bennett, the mad Kiwi (are they all mad?), would drag the ramp out and arse around, to the amusement of ex-pupils. Jumping MTX 125's, knee-down on Honda CG125's, knee-down on Honda MT50's (I kid you not), stoppies and wheelies on MTX's, etc. etc... :D [smiley=happy.gif]
Of course, I'm much more sensible now... :-?

That's the chappie. We used to have some great times. CSM were where Abbey are now, the speedway stadium. Rat bought it from the administrators when CSM went bust (1999 I think)... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
