Hello from the 80's.....

Having 'bumped' into this forum after a google search, I found a few comments about me...so have joined up to chat and share what I can......

My name is James Tatlow - Formally Capt. Freefall.....getting back in the saddle after 16 years!

Many will know that I was a MBUK test rider and raced all over the UK way back in the 80's before suspension forks and crud catchers.

Here are some pictures I've found that might be of interest to the forum users... http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i319/JabberingJimbo/Old%20bike%20pics/

I'll be digging about in my garage soon so may find a few 'gems' lost in time and will share on here.

So hello from me :)
